With an overall length of 0.75 inches and a 1-1\/2D length-to-diameter ratio, this insert restores worn or damaged threads to full load-bearing capacity. Constructed from stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding service environments. Installation requires a standard tang break-off tool after the insert is driven to depth. This package contains 10 inserts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree-running threaded inserts of this type are used across a wide range of applications including machinery repair, equipment manufacturing, automotive service, and structural assemblies where a stripped or weak threaded hole must be brought back to specification. The 1\/2-13 UNC thread size is one of the most common fastener standards in North American trade work, making this insert a practical stock item for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) use in shops and field service kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread size 1\/2-13 UNC for compatibility with standard inch-series fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.75 inch overall length with 1-1\/2D length-to-diameter ratio for solid thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in harsh environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTanged design allows positive drive during installation and clean tang removal after seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish with 7-7\/8 free coils for consistent insert geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a pack of 10 for bench stock and MRO inventory\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 any application using 1\/2-13 UNC threaded holes requiring helical coil thread reinforcement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a machinist, maintenance technician, or qualified trade professional using a proper helical insert installation tool sized for 1\/2-13 UNC. The parent hole must be drilled and tapped to the correct insert tap size before driving the insert. After the insert is flush or one turn below the surface, use a tang break-off tool to remove the installation tang. Do not attempt to drive the insert with an improvised tool, as this can damage the coil geometry or the parent material threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\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: 0.75 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: 7-7\/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: 22516\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700312834354,"sku":"22516","price":21.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/038b3b3c9996637773019691f9483cf5.jpg?v=1788388821","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-22516-free-running-insert-1-2-13-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
