Press-Fit & Spiral Inserts

Press Fit and Spiral Inserts are applied into a substrate by drilling a pilot hole and driving, or pressing, them into place. These include T-Nuts, Brass Spiral Type D, Zinc die cast inserts, knurled inserts and composite panel inserts. Press fit inserts have internal threads and external features such as knurling, prongs or knife threads to hold the insert in place. Press fit inserts can also be used with glue or an adhesive for added holding strength.

 

Spiral inserts, knurled inserts, t-nuts and press fit inserts are post applied inserts. The inserts are generally used in plastic, wood or other semi-soft materials. Press fit inserts can be used with solid substrates such as stone or concrete with an adhesive.
  • Press-fit inserts have external knurling that hold the insert firm and prevent spinning when a mating bolt is used.
  • Press Fit inserts can be used with glue of an adhesive for added strength
  • Spiral inserts are driven into place with a hex wrench or drill
  • The over-sized flange on spiral inserts prevents overdriving of the insert
  • Spiral inserts are driven into place with large external threads that cut into the substrate
