Threadings in a material offer rapid installation & removal operation in fastening applications for assembling components. But when these threadings get damaged, worn-out or stripped due to any reason, the strength & reliability of these threaded connections reduce, leading to potential accidents. Powercoil offers a permanent solution to these problems in the form of Helicoil thread repair kits. Read Less
Powercoil thread repair kits are used to repair stripped threads & create new threads for fastening applications at any location.
Drill bits can attach to hand drills for drilling out holes of required dimensions in metallic materials.
Taps are used to create threadings on the drilled-out holes.
These taps are made of high-speed steel for structural strength to resist bending / breaking under rough usage.
These thread repair kits may contain different installation tools for installing inserts.
Powercoil threaded inserts in thread repair kits provide stronger threading than the original tapped threaded hole while preventing thread wear.
These inserts are made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance & durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Powercoil inserts larger in diameter than the tapped hole before installation?
Diameter of thread inserts are slightly larger than the tapped hole diameter before installation as the installation tool reduces the diameter of the leading coil when it applies torque to the insert's tang, thereby allowing the insert to enter the tapped hole. After installing a threaded insert, its high tensile stainless steel coil acts like a spring and expands outward onto the metallic material for a strong anchoring connection.
What are PowerCoil screw-lock inserts and why are they dyed red?
Screw-lock inserts are suitable for places where there may be vibration, permitting the mating fastener (screw) to loosen. These screw-lock insert ?locks? the mating fastener into a position where a certain amount of torque is needed to release the fastener, removing the need for a lock washer. Screw-lock inserts are dyed red for identification purposes only.
Can Powercoil wire thread inserts be interchanged with other brands?
Yes
What are some troubleshooting solutions to thread repair kit installation problems?
If there is a problem while installing a threaded insert, first match the insert with its correct tap & drill size and then check for wear on them. Helical thread plug gages may also be used to check the tapped holes before installing the insert.
If the insert installs perfectly, but there is a problem in winding the mating fastener, match the fastener's dimensions with the diameter & pitch of the installed thread insert.
