Value Collection BDKP36418 Thread Locking Insert M8x1.25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDKP36418 is a thread locking insert designed for thread repair applications where a damaged or stripped hole needs to be restored to service. The insert accepts an M8 x 1.25 internal thread while its 1/2-13 external thread anchors into the host material. Manufactured from carbon steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this insert measures 0.484 inches overall length. The metric coarse thread standard makes it suited for restoring fastener engagement in metric-threaded components without the need for full part replacement. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical trades commonly install these inserts in production and field repair scenarios.

This thread repair insert is used in applications where an existing M8 x 1.25 tapped hole has been stripped, cross-threaded, or otherwise damaged. The 1/2-13 external thread cuts into the parent material to create a secure, load-bearing anchor. Typical use cases include machinery frames, engine components, brackets, and structural assemblies where metric fastener engagement must be restored. The carbon steel construction suits steel and cast iron host materials commonly found in industrial and mechanical equipment.

Designed as an OEM-style thread repair insert for metric coarse M8 x 1.25 threaded holes in steel and compatible host materials requiring a 1/2-13 external thread installation bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or qualified mechanical technician. The host material must be drilled and tapped to the correct 1/2-13 dimension before the insert is driven into place. Ensure the work area is secure and all powered equipment is locked out before beginning thread repair. Follow applicable industry and equipment manufacturer guidelines for hole preparation and insert seating depth.
