Manufactured from 1008\/1010 steel with a clear protective zinc yellow dichromate finish, this insert provides reliable thread engagement in applications where through-hole or back-side access is limited. The 1\/4-28 UNF thread size makes it well suited for fine-thread fastening requirements common in light mechanical assemblies. With a 0.58-inch overall length and 0.39-inch insert diameter, it installs quickly and holds firmly once properly set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis threaded insert is used in light fabrication, panel assembly, and general mechanical applications where a threaded anchor point must be established in a drilled hole. The knurled outer body resists rotation and pull-out once installed. It is appropriate for use in sheet metal, thin steel panels, and similar substrates. Grip range runs from 0.027 inches minimum to 0.165 inches maximum, covering a practical span of thin-material thicknesses. This item is sold in a package quantity of 50, with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-28 UNF internal thread for fine-thread fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKnurled outer body resists rotation and pull-out after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOpen end design allows thread engagement from one side of the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1008\/1010 steel construction with zinc yellow dichromate finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrip range of 0.027 to 0.165 inches accommodates a variety of panel thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackage of 50 inserts with a minimum order quantity of 1 package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard knurled body open end threaded insert for use in drilled holes with a 0.3906-inch hole diameter in sheet metal and thin-panel assemblies requiring 1\/4-28 UNF thread anchoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a machinist, fabricator, or assembly technician using a suitable insert installation tool or arbor press. The receiving hole should be drilled to the specified 0.3906-inch diameter before insert placement. Verify that the material thickness falls within the 0.027- to 0.165-inch grip range before selecting this insert. Do not exceed the designed grip range, as improper installation can result in reduced pull-out strength or thread damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-28 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.39 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.58 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3906 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Grip\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.027 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Grip\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.165 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1008\/1010 Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc Yellow Dichromate with Clear Protective Coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Knurled Body Open End\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\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: 45205\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67952855056690,"sku":"45205","price":46.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/700bfd0565d739edfafb0ad0d2d4470a.jpg?v=1791753223","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-45205-threaded-insert-1-4-28-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
