The new threaded inserts launched by E-Z Lok are perfect for repairing or reinforcing threaded holes in soft metals such as aluminium, magnesium and cast iron. They feature external threads of standard size and pitch, allowing for installation with standard drills and taps. The solid wall threaded inserts can be installed using a screwdriver, bolt/jam nut (except for the IC series), or an optional power drive tool.

Designed to remain securely in place, these inserts will not back out or vibrate loose. The pre-applied, microencapsulated adhesive begins to set immediately upon installation and the newly installed insert is fastener-ready in 3-5 minutes. Despite their firm hold while in use, E-Z Lok (Solid Wall) threaded inserts for metal can be removed with a bolt extractor, which overcomes the resistance to torque-out produced by the adhesive. They can also be removed by heating the insert to a temperature above 149°C, at which point the adhesive will release.

E-Z Lok threaded inserts come in various designs, including Thin Wall, Standard Wall, Extra Heavy Wall, Screw Locking and Automotive. They are available in both Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel. Stainless steel threaded inserts are perfect for applications requiring additional corrosion resistance, as well as food, beverage and other clean-critical applications.

Assortment kits are equipped with inserts in a variety of sizes. They provide an easy-to-store solution for thread repair, giving maintenance teams added convenience. Installation kits are designed to simplify the application and repair process, featuring a drill, tap and installation tool.
