Inserts
Heli-Coil Inserts have evolved since their inception in the 1930’s and now
include the complete range of both tanged and tangless free running and
screw-locking wire insert systems.
Today Heli-Coil delivers a vast array of high quality inserts and installation tools designed to meet
the needs of the industry’s ever demanding designers and manufacturers. Inserts are available in
a variety of materials and special coatings. With Heli-Coil threads, tapped holes are strengthened
and thread life is dramatically increased.
Heli-Coil Inserts are The Original.
Manual Tools
Heli-Coil offers a complete line of tooling together with a
full array of STI taps, gages and tang break-off tools.
For production runs, prototype work, salvage and repair, Heli-Coil offers a range
of installation and extraction tools for both tanged and tangless inserts to
complete the needs of your application.
Power Tools
For higher volume production, we offer both electronic and
pneumatic power inserting tools.
Heli-Coil power tools can be adapted to assembly stations, rotary tables and
transfer lines for rapid installation. Our application engineers are always
available to assist in installation techniques and special tooling.
Quality
Our strict quality programs ensure that we meet the latest
industry standards of ISO/TS 16949:2002, ISO 14001:2004,
AS/EN/JISQ9100 Rev C and ISO 9001:2008. A comprehensive
Business Management System elevates our quality levels well
above our competitors.

Screw Thread Inserts
Types of Inserts
There are two styles of Heli-Coil inserts.
The standard or FREE RUNNING insert
which provides a smooth free-running
thread; and SCREW-LOCKING which
provides self-locking torque on the male
member by a series of “chords” on one
or more of the insert coils. They are both
available in Tanged and Tangless; Inch and
Metric series.
(Note: Inch series Screw-Locking inserts are dyed red for identification.)
Free Running Insert Screw-Locking Insert
Heli-Coil inserts are precision formed coils of

extremely hard, diamond shaped 304 stainless steel.
When installed into an STI tapped hole, they provide
permanent conventional 60° internal screw threads.
This assembled insert accommodates any standard bolt
or screw as per MIL-S-7742 and AS8879 (UNJ controlled
root radius). Inserts can be custom made in all materials
listed on p. 9.
Heli-Coil tanged inserts are larger in diameter

before installation than the tapped hole. During installation,
the inserting tool applies torque to the tang reducing
the diameter of the leading coil permitting it to enter Diamond Shaped Wire Illustration of the Retention Principle

coil of the insert expands outward with a spring-like
action permanently anchoring the insert. » UNC #1 through 1-1/2 » UNF #2 through 1-1/2
» Metric Coarse M2 through M39 » Metric Fine M8 through M39
Inserts are also available in UNEF, UNS, 8UN, 12UN, 16UN, Spark Plug and Pipe Thread.
Tangless inserts eliminate the need for tang break-off and retrieval. Since no
loose tangs are left behind, they become the solution when Foreign Object Debris (FOD)
cannot be present in critical applications. Loose tangs can potentially cause damage and
result in the need for costly repairs.
Tangless inserts are manufactured using the same materials as standard inserts and
provide the same superior performance characteristics. They are available in Free
Running and Screw-Locking and in inch and metric series, coarse and fine.

Tapping Data – Inch **See more date about class on next page.**
The minimum tapping depths shown below (Dimension C) are

the minimum for countersunk holes and an insert set-down of
1 – 1/2 pitch maximum. The calculation for Dimension “C” is:
C is equal to insert nominal length + 1 Pitch. A
The tapped hole must be held within the stated pitch diameter
limits for the required class of fit for the installed Heli-Coil insert.
When anodize, Iridite or other finishes are used, all tapped hole
dimensions must be met after the finishes are applied.

Gages – Metric
Heli-Coil STI Thread Plug Gages (metric) for checking the tapped
hole are listed in chart.
The complete gage consists of the GO thread plug gage,

the HI thread plug gage and the appropriately marked
gage handle.
Accuracy of the finished thread, when the insert is installed, is

dependent upon the accuracy of the tapped hole. If the finished
tapped hole gages satisfactorily, the installed insert will be
within the thread tolerance. It is, therefore, not necessary to
gage the installed insert.
After the insert is installed, the GO thread plug gage may not
enter freely; however, the insert will always seat itself when the
bolt or screw is installed and tightened.
(Reference MA1567)
When gaging tapped holes which have been thoroughly cleaned

or which have a protective finish applied, the gage should
always be lubricated with light oil.
The HI thread plug gage may enter provided that a definite drag
results on or before the second turn of entry. (Reference ANSI
B1.16)
