Value Collection KP82580 Threaded Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP82580 is a hex drive slotted threaded insert designed to provide strong, reliable threads in materials that require a metal-reinforced fastening point. These inserts are driven into a pre-drilled hole using a hex drive tool, with the slotted design allowing for secure seating and resistance to rotation once installed. Threaded inserts of this type are standard hardware in light fabrication, equipment assembly, and repair applications across multiple trades. The part ships individually and is sold as a single unit.

This threaded insert is suited for use in applications where a durable internal thread must be added or restored in wood, plastic, or soft metal assemblies. Typical install scenarios include equipment enclosures, cabinetry, access panels, and light structural assemblies where standard tapping is not practical or where thread stripping is a concern.

Key Features

• Hex drive installation compatible with standard hex bit drivers and wrenches
• Slotted design resists rotation after seating for a secure hold
• Compact form factor suited for confined installation areas
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded insert for use in fabrication, assembly, and repair applications requiring a reinforced internal thread.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed using a properly sized hex drive bit or wrench to avoid stripping the drive interface. Ensure the receiving hole is drilled to the correct diameter specified for the insert thread size before driving. Avoid over-torquing, which can crack surrounding material or deform the insert body. No special trade license is typically required, though fastener installation on mechanical or electrical enclosures must comply with applicable codes for the equipment being serviced.
