Jergens 215-065970 Keylocking Thread Insert M14x2 M20x1.5

Product Description

The JERGENS 215-065970 is a heavy-duty keylocking threaded insert designed to create a permanent, high-strength internal thread in metal components. The insert accepts an M14 x 2 metric coarse internal thread and installs into a host bore prepared for an M20 x 1.5 external thread. At 20 mm overall length, the 215-065970 is constructed from carbon steel, giving it the mechanical strength required for demanding fastening applications. Keylocking inserts use staking keys to lock the insert into the parent material, preventing rotation and pullout under load. This design is commonly installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working in industrial and manufacturing environments.

This insert is suited for thread repair, thread reinforcement, and new-hole installations where a smaller internal thread is needed in a larger drilled and tapped bore. It is appropriate for use in steel, aluminum, cast iron, and other metallic host materials. The metric coarse thread form follows standard M14 x 2 geometry, making it compatible with standard M14 metric fasteners. Minimum order quantity is 10 units; package quantity per unit of sale is 1.

Key Features

• M14 x 2 metric coarse internal thread accepts standard M14 fasteners
• M20 x 1.5 external thread for installation into prepared host bore
• 20 mm overall length provides substantial thread engagement depth
• Carbon steel construction delivers high pullout and torque resistance
• Keylocking design mechanically locks insert against rotation in parent material
• Heavy-duty classification suitable for high-load fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation insert for metallic components requiring an M14 x 2 internal thread within an M20 x 1.5 tapped bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a dedicated keylocking insert installation tool to drive and stake the locking keys into the parent material. The host bore must be drilled and tapped to M20 x 1.5 before insert installation. Always de-energize or lock out any machinery before performing thread repair or insert installation on assembled equipment. Follow the insert manufacturer's installation procedure for key staking depth to ensure proper retention.
