Product description
The inserts are further described as follows: a) The A-L Series Insert - is a knurled threaded insert which features a large diameter, low profile head making it ideal for use in punched or even hand drilled out-of-round holes. b) The A-K Series Insert - is a knurled threaded insert which features a minimized head profile that allows for nearly flush applications without the need for special hole preparations such as countersinking or dimpling. c) The A-H Series Insert - is a threaded hex insert which features a hex body design that when used in a hex hole produces the ultimate in spin-out torque resistance. d) The A-W Series Insert - is a knurled insert which can be installed into most material softer than itself and thicker than .030"/.76mm. This insert is particularly in thick hand-layed-up fiberglass and blind hole applications in aluminum castings. e) The A-O Series Insert -is a threaded insert which features a low profile head design which virtually eliminates the need for countersink drilling or dimpling of the parent material to achieve flush installations. f) The A-L Series Insert - is a threaded insert which incorporates an under head bonded PVC foam that is ideal for weather resistant sealing requirements. These fasteners are installed by means of an air tool.
