Manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel with a dry film lubricant finish, this tangless insert installs without a tang-break step, reducing debris risk in blind-hole applications. The insert measures 0.172 inches in overall length at a 2D length-to-diameter ratio for the 2-56 UNC thread size. With a maximum locking torque of 20 oz-in and a minimum breakaway torque of 3.00 oz-in, it delivers consistent prevailing torque performance in precision assemblies. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals rely on this insert type for thread repair and thread reinforcement in metal or composite components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for applications requiring a permanent, locking threaded insert in fine-pitch 2-56 UNC threaded bores. Typical use cases include control panel assemblies, HVAC equipment enclosures, electrical junction boxes, and precision mechanical subassemblies where vibration or repeated fastener cycling could compromise thread integrity. The Grade 304 stainless construction provides corrosion resistance in environments with moisture exposure or where dissimilar-metal contact is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTangless design eliminates tang-break debris in blind-hole or critical assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry film lubricant finish for consistent installation torque and reduced galling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum locking torque of 20 oz-in with minimum breakaway torque of 3.00 oz-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2D length-to-diameter ratio at 0.172 inches overall length suits compact fastener envelopes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-3\/8 free coils provide reliable thread engagement across the insert length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for installation into 2-56 UNC tapped holes prepared with the appropriate HELI-COIL tap and tangless insertion tooling.
