Description: The Trisert Reduced Headed is a self-tapping insert. Its main feature is a truncated external thread form with three equidistant main and three secondary cutting flutes.

Application: Offers higher tightening torque's and increased bearing surface for use with softer mating components. Use where a flush fit is required. Trisert Advanced should be specified for thin walls, hard Urea, Melamine and Phenolic materials or similar.

Hole Size: Moulded and drilled hole diameters vary dependent upon installation technique, specific component geometry and plastic 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.
