Manufactured from 304 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this insert measures 0.246 inches in overall length and accepts 8-32 UNC thread size. The 1-1\/2D length-to-diameter ratio and 6 free coils provide solid thread engagement for high-stress fastener applications. Installation requires a standard HELI-COIL tap and installation tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for repair and original-equipment thread reinforcement across a wide range of industries including aerospace, automotive, electronics assembly, and general mechanical maintenance. It is commonly installed in aluminum, magnesium, cast iron, and plastic housings where thread pullout or cross-threading has compromised the original bore, or where a stronger thread is required by design. The tanged style allows positive driving during installation. Minimum order quantity is 10 inserts; this listing represents a single insert quantity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread size for standard inch-series fastener compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.246 inches overall length with 1-1\/2D length-to-diameter ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 free coils provide consistent thread engagement across the insert length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTanged design for controlled installation with a standard driving tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish  -  no surface treatment to interfere with thread dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a free running threaded insert replacement for any application requiring 8-32 UNC internal threads with a 1-1\/2D engagement depth.
