Value Collection MP43023 10-32 Threaded Insert 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP43023 is a sealed head open end threaded insert designed for permanent installation into pre-drilled holes in metal assemblies. The insert accepts a 10-32 UNF internal thread and provides a strong, reliable thread anchor in thin or soft base materials. Manufactured from 1008/1010 steel with a clear protective zinc yellow dichromate finish, the MP43023 resists corrosion while maintaining dimensional accuracy. The sealed head design prevents fluid or debris intrusion through the back of the insert, making it suitable for applications where contamination control matters. Licensed trades and production assembly technicians install this type of fastener using standard insertion tooling.

This insert is suited for use in sheet metal panels, enclosures, brackets, and light structural assemblies where a machine-thread anchor is required in a thin-walled or single-access location. The 0.296-inch insert diameter fits a 0.2969-inch drilled hole, and the grip range of 0.02 to 0.1 inches accommodates a range of material thicknesses. The 0.415-inch head diameter provides a broad seating flange to distribute clamp load. Sold in a package quantity of 50 units per order.

Installation Notes

Threaded inserts of this type are installed by machinists or sheet metal fabricators using a dedicated insertion tool sized to the insert diameter. Always drill and deburr the host hole to the specified 0.2969-inch diameter before insertion. Verify material thickness falls within the 0.02 to 0.1-inch grip range before seating the insert. Do not use impact drivers or hammers to seat the insert, as this can distort the head or damage the internal thread.
