E-Z Lok, a leading manufacturer and master distributor of threaded inserts for metal, plastic, and wood, now offers E-Z Lok™ (solid wall) threaded inserts for metal, including both assortment and installation kits.
E-Z Lok inserts are ideal for repairing or reinforcing threaded holes in soft metals such as aluminum, magnesium, and cast iron. External threads are standard size and pitch, so they can be installed with standard drills and taps. Solid wall threaded inserts are installed with a screwdriver, bolt/jam nut (except IC series) or optional power drive tool.
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 three to five 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 300°F (149°C), at which point the adhesive will release.
E-Z Lok inserts are available in thin wall, standard wall, extra heavy wall, screw locking, and automotive designs. They are available in 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.
