Value Collection BDKP38209 Thread Locking Insert 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDKP38209 is a thread locking insert designed for thread repair applications where a damaged or stripped hole needs to be restored to reliable service. Machined from 303 stainless steel with a bright finish, this insert accepts a 10-24 internal thread and is installed into a 3/8-16 external threaded bore. The overall length is 0.406 inches. Its UNC thread standard ensures straightforward sourcing of mating fasteners. Maintenance technicians and machinists use this type of insert to reclaim stripped threads in metal components without replacing the parent part entirely.

This insert is suited for thread repair work in industrial, commercial, and mechanical maintenance environments. Typical applications include restoring stripped tapped holes in housings, brackets, and structural components where a 10-24 threaded fastener must be retained. The 303 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance appropriate for moderate-duty service conditions. Sold in a package quantity of 10, making it practical to stock for recurring repair tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using the appropriate tap and installation tool for the external thread size. The parent material must be drilled and tapped to 3/8-16 UNC before the insert is driven or threaded into place. Ensure the work piece is secure and free of chips before installing the insert. Follow the insert manufacturer's recommended installation procedure to avoid cross-threading or over-driving.
