With a metric coarse M6 x 1 thread size and a 9 mm overall length, this insert installs into a pre-tapped hole and expands to grip the host material, producing an internal thread that accepts a standard M6 bolt or fastener. The stainless steel construction and bright uncoated finish provide corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor service environments. This style of insert is used by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and field service professionals working across industrial, mechanical, and MRO applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree-running inserts are suitable wherever a durable, full-strength thread needs to be added or restored in metal, composite, or other machinable materials. The tanged design aids installation using a standard insert driver tool, and the tang is broken off with a tang break-off tool after the insert is seated. These inserts are packaged in quantities of 10, making them practical for both single repairs and higher-volume production use. A length-to-diameter ratio of 1-1\/2D at 9 mm OAL is a common specification for general-purpose fastening where thread strength and pull-out resistance are required without adding excessive stack height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM6 x 1 metric coarse thread for compatibility with standard M6 fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9 mm overall insert length provides a 1-1\/2D length-to-diameter ratio for solid thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTanged design allows controlled installation with a standard wire thread insert driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish requires no additional surface prep prior to installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged as 10 inserts per package for efficient stocking and field use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style wire thread insert for use in any parent material pre-tapped to accept a free-running M6 x 1 metric coarse wire insert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a correctly sized tap to prepare the parent hole and a matching wire thread insert driver tool to wind the insert in place. After seating the insert flush with or slightly below the parent material surface, use a tang break-off tool to remove the installation tang. Always verify the pre-tapped hole diameter matches the M6 x 1 insert specification before driving. Wear appropriate eye protection when breaking off the installation tang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M6 x 1 metric coarse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Insert Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9 mm\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: 6-3\/4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTang Type\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 inserts\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: 22572\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722813014322,"sku":"22572","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/56a8c9533b81a3e9c054bbb49f8de779.jpg?v=1788596273","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-22572-free-running-insert-m6x1-10-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
