Value Collection BDKP36417 Thread Locking Insert M6 X 1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDKP36417 is a thread locking insert designed for thread repair in metal assemblies where the original internal thread has been stripped or damaged. The insert installs with a 3/8-16 external thread that bites into the parent material, while presenting an M6 x 1 metric coarse internal thread to the fastener. Overall length is 0.406 inches. The body is machined from carbon steel with a bright finish. This type of insert is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and field service pros to restore thread integrity without replacing an entire housing or component.

Thread repair inserts like the BDKP36417 are used in light manufacturing, maintenance and repair operations, and field service across HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades. The M6 x 1 internal thread accepts standard metric fasteners, making this insert suitable for equipment assemblies that use metric hardware but are being repaired using inch-standard tooling for the installation step. It is appropriate for use in carbon steel, cast iron, and similarly hard parent materials where a solid mechanical thread is required.

Key Features

• M6 x 1 metric coarse internal thread for standard metric fastener acceptance
• 3/8-16 external thread for installation into inch-tapped parent material
• 0.406 inch overall length for compact, low-profile installation
• Carbon steel construction with bright finish for corrosion resistance in dry service
• Thread repair type — restores stripped or damaged threads without component replacement
• Sold in a package quantity of 10

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style thread repair insert for metal assemblies requiring an M6 x 1 internal thread restored through a 3/8-16 external installation thread. Verify parent material hardness and thread engagement depth are appropriate for carbon steel inserts before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or qualified maintenance technician. The parent material must first be drilled and tapped to the correct 3/8-16 thread specification before the insert is driven in. Power down or de-energize any equipment fully before performing thread repair work on live assemblies. Do not over-drive the insert, as this can damage the internal M6 thread or distort the parent bore.
