Helical coil inserts for soft metals withstand temps up to 800 degrees F

E-Z Lok offers E-Z Coil threaded inserts to repair or reinforce tapped holes in soft metals. Made from 18-8 stainless steel wire, these helical coil inserts are corrosion resistant, can withstand temperatures up to 800 degrees F, and protect against wear and stripping.
The inserts are manufactured by forming the stainless steel wire into a diamond shape and then winding it into a spring. Before installation, the insert diameters are larger than the tapped hole. During installation, the diameter of the helical coil insert is reduced, allowing the insert to thread into the hole. Once properly installed, the radial pressure of the released insert holds it firmly in place.
EZ-Coil thread repair kits are available in both standard and economy, in a variety of sizes. The economy kit includes a set of inserts, an STI tap, and an installation tool. The standard kit also includes a tang break tool and drill bit.
