Recoil 25053 Free Running Insert M5 X 0.8 Ss 10-pack

Product Description

The RECOIL 25053 is a free running tanged threaded insert designed to repair or reinforce stripped and damaged threads in metal, plastic, and composite materials. Made from stainless steel, this coil-type insert installs into a pre-tapped hole to create a durable, wear-resistant internal thread. The M5 x 0.8 thread designation indicates a 5 mm nominal diameter with a 0.8 mm thread pitch. Each package contains 10 inserts. These inserts are used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need a reliable thread repair solution in ferrous and non-ferrous base materials.

The RECOIL 25053 is suited for thread repair and reinforcement applications across HVAC equipment housings, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, pump housings, and general mechanical assemblies where M5 x 0.8 internal threads have been damaged or require added strength. The tanged design allows for straightforward installation using a standard insert tool, and the tang is removed after installation to complete the repair. This insert is appropriate for both field service and shop repair environments.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or qualified maintenance technician. The base material must first be drilled and tapped to the correct RECOIL insert tap size before the insert is wound in using the appropriate installation tool. Power to any equipment being serviced must be shut off and the system must be depressurized before drilling or tapping operations begin. After the insert is seated to the correct depth, the tang is broken off and removed from the hole.
