About Threaded Inserts

Threaded inserts are blocks of material with a threaded hole that are pressed or molded into a part, usually made of a different material. The materials used for making threaded inserts are metals such as brass and copper, and plastics such as PVC and PTFE. There are many types of threaded inserts depending on the material used to create them. Examples include a threaded brass insert and a threaded plastic insert. A threaded brass insert has an internal thread and can be used as socket head or button head machine screw. A threaded plastic insert is a spiral ridge on the end of a pipe that enables pipes to be joined together. T A threaded brass insert has a deep groove for maximum pull out resistance. Knurling such as diamond, straight, and unidirectional are available in a threaded brass insert. A threaded plastic insert is more efficient than a threaded brass insert in the respect that it can withstand more pressure. Other threaded inserts are commonly available.
