TAZ Grooved Tapping Inserts Metric

Inserts Features

  • Coarse external threads and cutting flutes provide a reliable post-mold self-tapping installation in thermoplastics, thermoset plastics and resinous materials.
  • Ends of non-headed inserts are symmetrical to assist automatic feeding by eliminating the need for orientation during assembly.
  • Headed versions reduce the possibility of jack-out where there is a large clearance hole in the mating component, and are also well-suited for pull-thru applications.

Installation

Screw inserts into boss holes following standard self-tapping fastener procedures using hand tools or automated screw driving equipment. Boss dimensions shown are for reference and may vary depending on the type of plastic and application. A counterbore is not required but may reduce plastic mold flash, edge chipping or installation alignment issues.
