Insert Technology For Plastics, Composites And Metal Alloys

Material: 316 Stainless Steel, 303 Stainless Steel and Steel Case Hardened Zinc Nickel plated and Trivalent Passivated.
REACH/RoHS compliant as per the candidate list of substances of very high concern dated 13/01/2010

Finish: Self-Colour Passivated and as specified. Special finishes to customer requirements, at extra cost.

Description: The Trisert-3 is a single ended self-tapping insert. Its main features are the truncated external thread form with three equally spaced cutting facets.

Application: Designed to meet the the requirements of a wide range of host materials and harsh environments where brass Triserts would not be suitable. The Trisert-3 is compatible with the hole size for the equivalent size standard Trisert. Suitable in corrosive atmospheres and for installation into alloys or particularly hard engineering plastics.

Hole Size: Moulded and drilled hole diameters vary dependent upon installation technique, specific component geometry and material. Please consult our technical department for a precise recommendation, to ensure optimum production conditions. Sizes given are for reference purposes only.

Hole Design: The hole design information is intended to indicate the approximate dimensional requirements for satisfactory installation of the insert. They should not be specified for production tooling without prior consultation with our Application Engineering Department - we accept no responsibility should the use of this information without consultation result in product failure. Please call our application engineers for assistance +44 (0) 1789 206600

Installation: Self-tapping using a hand tool (part no.031) or reversible drive mechanism. Tappex offer pneumatic 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.
