What is the significance of open-ended self-locking inserts?

Inserts having an open end allow installation of fasteners longer than the inserts.

What are some compatible accessories used with these self-locking inserts?

Raptor Supplies offers compatible insert tools like drill bits, standard taps, bolts with two nuts and installation bits for installing these inserts.

How to install a self-locking insert?

Drill a hole according to the insert length & diameter using a standard drill. Tap the drilled hole using a standard tap of the desired thread size. Wind the insert into the hole like an ordinary fastener using a screwdriver, bolt & jam nut or an optional E-Z LOK drive tool. 5 minutes after the threaded insert is placed in the hole, the pre-applied Loctite adhesive on the external threads starts setting for installing the fastener in minutes. After fully curing (72 hours), they can seal against liquids or gases having pressure up to 6000 psi.

Can we reuse these inserts once removed?

The external thread adhesive of these inserts starts setting after installation. Users can install a bolt inside it only if they do not want to remove it in future. Removing the bolt from the insert & the insert from the material after installation may destroy the adhesive & hence the insert's effectiveness. So, users can not reuse these inserts once removed from the application surface.
