WireSert inserts also known as wire or helical threaded inserts quickly repair or reinforce tapped holes in soft metals. Manufactured from Stainless Steel 18-8, WireSert inserts provide strong internal threads that are corrosion resistant and withstand temperatures to 800 degrees fahrenheit. This free-running insert has a 12-24 UNC Right-Hand internal thread and is 0.540 long.Free-Running inserts should be larger in diameter than the tapped hole. Compression during installation provides maximum surface contact between the flanks of the wire insert and the tapped threads. The flexibility of WireCert inserts enhance the load bearing capacity by deflecting the residual forces into a helical, which is dispersed into the wall of the tapped hole.
