APPROVED VENDOR Key Locking Insert: Thin Wall, 4 Keys, 1/2"-20 Int Thrd Sz, 5/8"-11 Ext Thrd Sz

A key locking insert, like this APPROVED VENDOR thin wall version, is used to repair or reinforce tapped threads in softer materials such as aluminum or plastic. The four external keys lock the insert into the parent material, preventing rotation under load, while the internal threads accept a standard fastener.

This APPROVED VENDOR insert has a 1/2"-20 internal thread and a 5/8"-11 external thread, with fine threads and a plain finish. It is made from stainless steel 303, has 4 keys, and is supplied as a 10-pack. The external thread fit is 2A and internal thread fit is 2B, compatible with a 5/8"-11 tap.
