Material: Brass - to BS EN 12164 CW 614N
This material is RoHS compliant

Finish: Self-Colour. Special finishes to customer requirements, at extra cost.

Description: The Male Trisert is a self tapping insert. Three body length options are available as well as headed and unheaded. The part number is defined by the female body size a number 5 replacing the 1 unless a headed version is required. its main feature is a truncated external thread form with three equidistant main cutting flutes. Special ends to the thread such as dog point or chamfer may also be specified.

Application: For use in most engineering plastics, Triserts give maximum performance in applications where there is a gap between the mating parts. Close tolerance should be specified for thin walls, hard Urea, Melamine and Phenolic materials or similar.

Hole size: Moulded and drilled hole diameters vary dependent upon the nature of the final assembly, component geometry and plastic material. Please consult our technical department for a precise recommendation, to ensure optimum production conditions. Sizes given for the female equivalent body size are relevant.

Installation: Self-tapping using a hand tool or reversible drive mechanism. Tappex offer pneumatic and electric reversible tools mounted in a Tappex Flexiarm, used in conjunction with a Tappex production driver (part no.029).

MANY VARIATIONS ON ALL OUR STANDARD PARTS, INCLUDING MALE INSERTS, ARE AVAILABLE. IMPERIAL THREAD SIZES USE NEAREST METRIC EQUIVALENT. FOR EXTERNAL DETAIL PLEASE CONTACT US WITH YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
