Threaded Zinc Inserts for Wood

About the product

A threaded insert is a cylindrical metal piece with internal threading, designed to be inserted into pre-drilled holes. It creates a threaded socket for installing screws, bolts, or other fasteners. These silver threaded inserts for wood provide a secure, long-lasting hold when joining wood, chipboard, and plywood. 

• Measure .228” in diameter and .375” in length

• Each pack includes (25) silver inserts.

• Made with anti-corrosive Zinc Alloy Die Cast. Forms strong, sturdy joints that can also be easily taken apart.

• Superior holding power for hardwood materials such as oak, cherry, and maple.

Instructions:

1. Mark where you want the threaded insert to go.

2. Pre-drill the hole with a 5/16” drill bit. The depth will depend on the fastener or screw you use for the project. 

3. For a stronger hold, add a few drops of epoxy to the insert before securing it to the wood. This will help the insert stay in place.

4. There are three ways you can place the threaded insert into the pre-drilled hole:

• • Place the threaded insert into the hole and use an Allen wrench to twist it until it’s flush with the wood.
  • Insert a hex cap screw into the threaded insert, drive it into the wood with a T-wrench or ratchet screwdriver, then remove the hex cap screw once the insert is in place.
  • Use a hammer and lightly tap the insert into the hole until it’s flush with the wood.

5. Let the epoxy sit for a bit and give it time to cure.
