Value Collection 43031 M5x0.80 Threaded Insert 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 43031 is a knurled body open end threaded insert designed for creating strong, permanent internal M5x0.80 threads in materials that cannot hold threads on their own. The knurled outer body presses or drives into a pre-drilled host material, locking in place and providing a reliable threaded engagement point. With an overall length of 12.07mm and an insert diameter of 7.52mm, this fastener is suited for precision assemblies where a clean, load-bearing thread is required in thin or soft substrates. It is constructed from 1008/1010 steel with a clear protective coating and zinc yellow dichromate finish for corrosion resistance.

This threaded insert is used in light-duty to medium-duty assemblies across industrial, mechanical, and electrical enclosure applications. It is installed into a 7.6mm diameter pre-drilled hole and is appropriate for sheet metal, plastic housings, and panel fabrication work where M5 threaded connections are required. A head diameter of 10.54mm provides a seating surface against the workpiece. Installers in manufacturing, equipment maintenance, and electrical panel assembly commonly use this type of insert when tapping directly into a base material is not practical or durable enough for the application.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M5x0.80 knurled body open end threaded insert for installation into a 7.6mm pre-drilled hole in sheet metal, panels, or similar substrates requiring permanent internal metric threads.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed using a press, arbor, or appropriate insertion tool to drive the knurled insert flush into the pre-drilled hole without damaging the host material. Ensure the host material hole diameter matches the specified 7.6mm drill size before installation. De-energize any equipment and secure the workpiece before beginning fastener installation in electrical or mechanical assemblies. Do not attempt to install by hammer alone, as uneven force can distort the insert or compromise thread integrity.
