Hex Drive Thread Inserts

Hex drive thread inserts are threaded fasteners designed to create strong and durable threads in various materials, including metal, plastic, and composite materials. They feature a hexagonal drive recess for installation using a hex key or driver. These thread inserts are ideal for automotive, aerospace, electronics and manufacturing applications.

Features

  • Hex drive threaded inserts are designed for drawer pulls and ready-to-assemble furniture to prevent thread stripping.
  • They feature long teeth that dig deep into the wood during installation to provide a strong hold.
  • Once installed, these inserts have metal internal threading that can be continuously installed or removed from inserts.
  • These threaded inserts are used either when the screw has stripped the hole or the user knows the screw needs to be installed & removed frequently.
  • Install an E-Z hex drive threaded insert to prevent thread damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between flanged and flush hex drive threaded inserts?

  • Flanged hex drive threaded inserts are installed up to the lip near the head of the insert whereas flush hex drive threaded inserts do not have a lip near the head and can be installed either completely flush with the surface or a little countersunk.
  • Flanged hex drive threaded inserts are referred to as Type D insert nuts while flush inserts are referred to as Type E insert nuts.

Are threaded inserts better than screws?

  • Threaded inserts offer a stronger alternative to tapped holes & weld nuts and provide a stronger bond than self-tapping screws.
  • They are usually the least time-consuming and strongest fasteners used in any manufacturing setting.

Can hex drive thread inserts be removed and reused?

In many cases, hex drive thread inserts can be removed using special extraction tools and reused if they are in good condition. However, the success of removal and reuse depends on factors such as the type of material, installation method and extent of wear.

How do hex drive thread inserts work?

Hex drive thread inserts are installed by threading them into a pre-drilled hole using a hex key or driver. As the insert is turned into the hole, its external threads cut into the surrounding material, creating strong internal threads that securely hold screws or bolts.
