E-Z LOK HELICAL THREAD INSERTS AND<br />
KITS FOR SOFT METALS<br />
E-Z Lok, a leading manufacturer and master<br />
distributor of threaded inserts for metal, plastic and<br />
wood now offers E-Z Coil and thread repair kits.<br />
Wire or helical coil threaded inserts quickly repair<br />
or reinforce tapped holes in soft metals. Made from<br />
18-8 stainless steel wire, these helical coil inserts are<br />
corrosion resistant and can withstand temperatures up<br />
to 800°F. Furthermore, they offer corrosion resistance<br />
and protection from wearing and stripping.<br />
E-Z Coil helical insert coils are manufactured by<br />
forming the stainless steel wire into a diamond shape<br />
and then winding it into a spring. Prior to installation,<br />
the insert diameters are larger than the tapped hole.<br />
During installation, the insert diameter of the helical coil<br />
insert is reduced, allowing the insert to thread into the<br />
hole. Once properly installed, the radial pressure of the<br />
released insert holds the insert firmly in place.<br />
Thread Repair kits are available in both standard<br />
BUSINESS FOCUS ARTICLE<br />
and economy, and in a variety of sizes. Each Economy<br />
E-Z Coil Thread Repair kit includes a set of inserts, an<br />
STI tap, and an installation tool. The standard kit also<br />
includes a tang break tool and drill bit.<br />
