All solid construction E-Z LOK threaded inserts install with standard tools. No special drills...no special taps...no special installation tools.
E-Z LOK external threads are standard size and pitch to permit the use of standard drills and taps. E-Z LOKs can be installed with a screwdriver, bolt/jam nut (except IC series), or optional power drive tool.
E-Z LOKs will not back out or vibrate loose. Immediately upon installation, microencapsulated adhesive begins to set and the newly installed inserts are fastener-ready in 3-5 minutes.
The adhesive seals against liquids and gases to 6,000 psi when fully cured (72 hours).
Features
Easy to install: solid threaded inserts install with standard tools, simply drill, tap and thread like any ordinary fastener (no special taps or installation tools are necessary)
Strength: carbon steel solid threaded inserts are screw machined out of solid steel for a stronger overall product
Standard OD Threads: solid threaded inserts for metal permit the use of standard drills and taps
Self-Locking: pre-applied adhesive activates upon installation
Vibration Resistant: adhesive secures the carbon steel solid threaded insert into place so it won’t back out
Seals against Liquids/Gases: solid threaded inserts are pressurized up to 6,000 psi.
Applications:
Soft metals: aluminum, cast iron, magnesium, etc.
Installation:
Unlike E-Z Coil™ inserts, which require a special tap and installation tool, E-Z LOK™ (Solid Wall) threaded inserts for metal are installed using standard tools, and installation is as easy as 1-2-3.
Simply drill the appropriately sized hole with a standard drill
Tap the hole with a standard tap
Turn in the E-Z LOK™ (Solid Wall) insert like an ordinary fastener with a screwdriver, bolt and jam nut, or an E-Z LOK™ drive tool.
E-Z LOK™ (Solid Wall) threaded inserts are self-locking and open immediately upon installation. The pre-applied LOCTITE™ on the external threads sets immediately allowing for the newly installed insert to be fastener ready.
E-Z LOK solid wall threaded inserts are typically installed with the slots up. The slots accommodate a screwdriver or E-Z LOK drive tool. When using a bolt and jam nuts for installation, the slotted end of the insert can be either up or down.
Important Note: Hole size requirements may vary depending on a number of factors, including material and tools. We recommend you test your particular application before ordering. Contact us for free samples.
