Type 302 Slotted Self-Tapping Threaded Inserts

Product Description 

Manufactured from premium Grade 302 stainless steel, our Type 302 self-tapping inserts feature a specialized slotted cutting design. This unique structure allows the insert to tap its own threads as it is driven into the parent material, providing a high-strength, wear-resistant internal thread. By eliminating the need for pre-tapping, these inserts significantly reduce assembly time while drastically enhancing the load-bearing capacity and durability of the host material.
