Value Collection BDKP36423 Thread Locking Insert M16x2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDKP36423 is a thread locking insert designed for thread repair applications in damaged or stripped tapped holes. Made from carbon steel with a bright finish, this insert features an M16 x 2 internal thread and a 1-8 external thread, conforming to the metric coarse thread standard. The overall length is 0.781 inches. Installation involves driving the insert into a prepared hole to restore thread integrity without full part replacement. This type of insert is commonly installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals working on industrial and mechanical equipment.

This insert is suited for repair work on threaded holes in metal components where the original internal thread has been damaged. The metric coarse M16 x 2 internal thread accepts standard M16 fasteners, while the 1-8 external thread anchors the insert securely into the repaired bore. Typical applications include machinery frames, equipment housings, and structural assemblies requiring reliable thread restoration. Each package contains 2 inserts.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a thread insert installation tool appropriate for the external thread size. The damaged bore must be drilled and tapped to the correct external thread specification before the insert is driven in. Ensure the workpiece is secured and de-energized or de-pressurized as applicable before beginning thread repair. Follow applicable workplace safety and machining standards during installation.
