Value Collection KP82581 Threaded Insert

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP82581 is a hex drive slotted threaded insert designed to create strong, reusable fastener threads in materials where direct tapping is not practical or durable enough. These inserts accept a hex drive for installation and feature a slotted design that allows torque transfer during seating. Used in maintenance, repair, and original assembly applications, the KP82581 is a compact fastening component suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general trade work where reliable threaded connections are required in thin or soft substrates.

This threaded insert is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty fastening applications across residential and commercial settings. The small form factor makes it well suited for panel assemblies, equipment enclosures, and similar installations where a flush or recessed threaded anchor point is needed. It is sold individually, making it a practical option for single-point repairs or small-batch assembly work.

Key Features

• Hex drive installation for positive torque engagement during seating
• Slotted drive provides an alternate installation method in confined spaces
• Compact profile suitable for thin-material applications
• Sold individually for targeted repairs or low-quantity assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded insert for use in standard fastening and repair applications where a durable internal thread anchor is required.

Installation Notes

Threaded inserts of this type are installed by mechanics, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using a hex key or appropriate driver bit. Ensure the receiving hole is correctly sized and clean before installation. Apply steady, even torque to seat the insert flush without over-driving, which can strip the host material. Always de-energize and secure any equipment before performing fastener work on live assemblies.
