Add threads to holes in preparation for installing helical inserts. Inserts come with a through-hole tap and installation tool. Assortments include various sizes of helical inserts and a tap, a drill bit, and an installation tool for each thread size. Made of Nitronic 60 stainless steel, these inserts prevent the screw from binding or sticking without any coating or lubricant that could contaminate particle-free environments. A dry film keeps the screw from sticking or binding in these inserts during installation. Eliminating the need for primer, these inserts are coated to resist corrosion when installed in different materials.

Helicoil inserts are screw thread bushings coiled from wire of diamond shape cross-section. They are fit into thread tapped holes to form internal threads with nominal size. Helicoil inserts are diametrically larger than the tapped hole. During the assembly operation, the diameter of the leading coil is reduced due to applied torque and this permits it to enter the tapped thread. The higher and more consistent torques are met by the screw locking inserts when assembled and tested in Class 3B tapped holes. Note: The minimum drilling depths allow for countersinking the drilled hole to have a good starting thread.

The tapped hole must be held within the stated pitch diameter limits for the required class of fit for the installed Heli-Coil insert. When anodize, Iridite or other finishes are used, all tapped hole dimensions must be met after the finishes are applied. Helicoil Tapping Data - Metric Heli-Coil taps in various types and styles produce holes for Tolerance Classes 4H5H or 3B and 5H or 2B for use in the general range of aluminums, magnesiums, mild steels, free machining stainless steels and other free machining materials. Conventional shop practice and production procedures, speeds, feeds and lubricants should be used in combination with proper fixturing and good tapping machines or tapping heads. The tapped hole must be held within the stated pitch diameter limits for the required Tolerance Class of fit for the installed Heli-Coil insert.

Helical Inserts with Installation Tools. Hole Tapped: Helicoil fitted: Job done:. Rickster55 - that's brilliant!! Green, had it for 3 decades!! Helical Insert Assortments with Installation Tools. I don't have batteries for my caliper, so I just eyeballed it. I guess I could have just measured mine, couldn't be bothered though. I also use keenserts and several other style of thread repair, but stainless coils are still the most common. Tap Style. Filter by. Search forums. This is because the heliciol looks more like a spring that lines the hole of the larger thread.

I fake being smart pretty good 'you can take my word for it or argue until you find out I'm right'. There is no such thing as "too many tools"!!! Recoil taps for unified threads are made to a 3B hole close fit tolerance. Lord help me if I ever need something with non-metric thread pitch.
