Screw Insert TYPE H

Phase
01

The tool positions the insert along its axis in the moulded well or drilling hole. self-drilling: the material is forced back without making chips self-tapping: the cutting slot cuts the material.

Phase
02

The locknut or the tool mechanism separates the tool and the insert. The material compresses the insert, holding it securely.

A larger hole will make it easier to fit the insert but at the expense of the holding force and torque resistance.
Plan a counterbore and/or a chamber to fit the insert more easily an ensure that it is flush with the surface of the material.

01

Fit a left-hand turn on the driving part of the tool. Mount the insert onto the tool with the slot or cutting holes facing down.

02

Engage the insert with light pressure at the start of installation to correctly form the first threads.

03

At the end of assembly, the insert must penetrate 0.1 to 0.2 mm ± 1/4 turn) below the surface of the part.

04

Using a wrench, lock the lock nut and unscrew the turn to the left to separate the insert from the tool. The stud of the tool is placed in the middle of the cutting slot so as not to block the clearance cutting chips.
