Heli-coil A1185-06CN207 6-32 Unc Free Running Insert

Product Description

The HELI-COIL A1185-06CN207 is a free running helical wire thread insert designed to restore or reinforce 6-32 UNC threaded holes in parent materials that are soft, worn, or damaged. At 0.207 inches overall length, this insert provides a 1-1/2D length-to-diameter ratio, delivering solid thread engagement in tight workpiece sections. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding service environments. The tanged design is compatible with standard HELI-COIL installation tooling. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical tradespeople use these inserts when rethreading stripped fastener holes in equipment housings, junction boxes, and control panels.

This insert is intended for use in 6-32 UNC threaded applications across light industrial, commercial, and residential service work. It is well suited for situations where a parent material has lost thread integrity due to overtorquing, corrosion, or repeated service cycles. The 4-3/4 free coil count and 1-1/2D ratio make this a standard fitment for equipment with limited boss depth. Installation requires a dedicated HELI-COIL tap and insertion tool sized for the 6-32 thread. Single-insert packaging supports field repair kits and low-volume rework applications.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style thread repair insert for 6-32 UNC threaded holes in metal parent materials requiring standard helical wire insert installation tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a qualified technician using the correct HELI-COIL tap and insertion tool for 6-32 thread size. Power down and de-energize any equipment before beginning thread repair work on electrical or HVAC components. After insert seating is confirmed, remove the installation tang using the appropriate tang break-off tool. Follow the equipment manufacturer's torque specifications for the fastener once the insert is installed.
