Value Collection 43054 Flush Press Fit Threaded Insert 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 43054 is a flush press fit threaded insert designed to install a durable 1/4-20 UNC internal thread into materials such as plastic, soft metal, or composite panels. Once pressed into a pre-drilled hole, the insert sits flush with the host surface and provides a secure, load-bearing thread for fastener engagement. The steel construction resists stripping and pull-out under repeated assembly cycles. With an overall length of 0.515 inches and an insert diameter of 0.389 inches, this insert is sized for tight, interference-fit installation. It is installed by machinists, assemblers, and maintenance technicians working on light-duty mechanical assemblies.

This insert is suited for applications requiring a clean, flush-face thread anchor in thin or soft workpieces where a standard tapped hole would not hold reliably. Typical use cases include plastic enclosures, aluminum extrusions, sheet assemblies, and fabricated brackets. The flush design allows mating surfaces to seat flat without obstruction from a protruding insert collar. It is appropriate for residential and commercial equipment assembly, field repairs, and production line maintenance.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC flush press fit threaded insert compatible with pre-drilled host materials requiring a 25/64-inch hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or assembly technicians using an arbor press or similar pressing fixture to achieve a uniform, flush seat without cocking or damage to the insert. Ensure the host material hole is drilled to the specified 25/64-inch diameter before pressing. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before performing insert installation or rework on assembled components. Do not use impact methods that may distort the insert bore or damage the surrounding material.
