Value Collection 45222 Threaded Insert M6x1.00

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45222 is a knurled body open end threaded insert designed for creating strong, permanent internal threads in thin materials or soft substrates. The insert features an M6x1.00 thread size and measures 9.91mm in insert diameter with an overall length of 14.73mm. Manufactured from 1008/1010 steel with a clear protective zinc yellow dichromate finish, it resists corrosion while providing reliable thread integrity. The knurled outer body locks securely into the host material upon installation, and the open end design allows for through-bolt applications. Typically installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals in both light industrial and commercial settings.

This threaded insert is suited for use in sheet metal, thin-wall tubing, plastics, and composite panels where tapped threads are not practical. The 10mm installation hole diameter and 12.7mm head diameter make it compatible with standard drill-and-press or hand-tool installation methods. It is commonly used in equipment fabrication, enclosure assembly, and repair applications where an M6 internal thread is required without access to the reverse side of the workpiece.

Key Features

• M6x1.00 internal thread for standard metric fastener compatibility
• Knurled outer body for secure mechanical retention in the host material
• Open end design supports through-bolt and full-length thread engagement
• 1008/1010 steel construction with zinc yellow dichromate finish for corrosion resistance
• 9.91mm insert diameter fits a 10mm installation hole
• 14.73mm overall length accommodates a minimum grip of 0.7mm

Compatibility

Designed as a standard metric threaded insert for use in thin-wall and sheet material applications requiring an M6x1.00 internal thread.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drilling a 10mm hole in the host material, then pressing or driving the insert flush using an appropriate installation tool or arbor press. Power down or de-energize any equipment before inserting fastening hardware into live assemblies. Avoid applying side loads during installation to prevent distortion of the knurled body. Follow applicable industry standards for fastener installation torque based on the host material type.
