Inserts are internally and externally threaded metal inserts
with a slot on one end. The inserts tap their own threads
as they are (turned) into drilled or cored holes. The wider
spaced external threads reduce installation torque and
provide a stronger hold.
Available in brass and stainless
steel. Custom sizes and materials are also available.
