Value Collection MP43022 Threaded Insert 10-24 Pack of 50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP43022 is a sealed head open end threaded insert designed for creating strong, reliable internal threads in thin sheet metal and other materials where a permanent fastening point is required. The insert features a 10-24 thread size and measures 0.296 inches in insert diameter with an overall length of 0.475 inches. The sealed head design closes off one end, preventing contaminants from passing through while the open end accepts the mating fastener. Manufactured from 1008/1010 steel with a clear protective zinc yellow dichromate finish, this insert provides corrosion resistance in light-duty service environments. Each pack contains 50 inserts.

This threaded insert is suited for light industrial, manufacturing, and assembly applications where sheet metal, panels, or thin-wall components require a threaded connection point. The 10-24 thread size is a common standard thread used across a wide range of equipment assemblies, control enclosures, and HVAC cabinet fabrication. The sealed head design makes it appropriate for applications where through-hole contamination or fluid intrusion must be controlled. Installation is performed using standard press or pull-type insert tooling available to most machine shops and fabrication technicians.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a pull-type or press-type insert installation tool matched to the 10-24 thread size and 0.296 inch insert diameter. The receiving hole must be prepared to 0.2969 inches before insert installation to ensure proper grip engagement. Confirm material grip thickness falls within the 0.02 to 0.1 inch minimum and maximum grip range before selecting this insert. Secure all workpieces and de-energize any associated equipment before performing fastener or insert installation work.
