Manufactured from stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this insert installs into a pre-tapped host material to provide a hardened, corrosion-resistant thread form. The 7\/16-14 UNC thread size and 0.656-inch overall length make it a direct-fit solution for standard coarse-thread applications. At a 1-1\/2D length-to-diameter ratio with 7-3\/8 free coils, it delivers consistent thread engagement across a range of base materials including aluminum, cast iron, and softer alloys. Sold in a pack of 10. Installation requires a matching STI tap and insert tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert is suited for maintenance, repair, and manufacturing applications where stripped or worn threads need to be rebuilt to original specifications. Common install scenarios include fastener repairs on machinery, automotive components, structural assemblies, and industrial equipment. The tanged design allows for controlled installation using a standard insert driver. Once seated, the tang is broken off flush with the host material surface. Suitable for both light-duty and moderate-load threaded connections where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/16-14 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard coarse-thread fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.656-inch overall length at a 1-1\/2D length-to-diameter ratio for solid thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTanged design for precise installation depth control using a standard insert driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7-3\/8 free coils for consistent load distribution across the thread form\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no coating to interfere with thread tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or repair insert for applications requiring a 7\/16-14 UNC internal thread in parent materials such as aluminum, magnesium, cast iron, or other metals where thread reinforcement is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a machinist or qualified technician using an STI-specified tap to prepare the host bore, followed by a dedicated insert driver tool. Always power down or de-energize any equipment before drilling or tapping operations. The tang must be broken off after installation using a tang break-off tool; do not leave the tang in the assembly. Follow applicable thread repair procedures per manufacturer and applicable industry standards for torque and joint integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-14\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Insert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.656 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength to Diameter Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2D\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Free Coils\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7-3\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tanged\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Value Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22515\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695056453938,"sku":"22515","price":21.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/17bad6ca971523db760e24b8694554d8.jpg?v=1788330900","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-22515-free-running-insert-7-16-14-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
