Value Collection 22574 Free Running Insert M10x1.5 15mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 22574 is a free running wire thread insert designed to create strong, durable internal threads in softer parent materials. With a metric coarse thread size of M10 x 1.5 and an overall length of 15 mm, this insert provides a 1-1/2D length-to-diameter ratio and features 8 free coils for consistent thread engagement. Manufactured from stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, it resists corrosion in demanding service environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install these inserts to repair damaged threads or to reinforce threads in aluminum, magnesium, cast iron, and similar base materials.

This insert is suited for metric threaded applications in industrial, automotive, aerospace, and general maintenance contexts. The tanged design allows standard installation tooling to drive the insert into a prepared helicoil-type tapped hole. Once seated, the tang is broken off and removed. Each package contains 10 inserts, making it practical for bench stock or small-run repair work. Typical applications include engine components, gearbox housings, hydraulic manifolds, and structural assemblies where thread integrity is critical.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly prepared tapped hole using a dedicated wire thread insert tap sized for M10 x 1.5. A standard wire thread insert installation tool is used to drive the insert to the correct depth. After seating, break off and remove the driving tang using a tang break-off tool. Power down or de-energize any assembly before performing thread repair work on electrical or mechanical systems.
