TAPPEX® THREAD INSERT TYPES:

TRISERT® Thread inserts for screwing in

Thread inserts for screwing in can be used as self-cutting thread inserts in thermoplastics, glass-fibre reinforced plastics (GRP) and thermosets. In pre-moulded and pre-drilled attachment holes the three cutting slots create firm embedding in the base material. TRISERT® guarantees a clean, chip-free inner thread. A particular advantage of the thread inserts without heads is that they can be used on both sides.

  • Thread sizes: M2, M2,5, M3, M3,5, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10
  • Model: With and without head
  • Installation: Screw in
  • Material: Brass

TRISERT-3® Steel thread inserts for screwing into light alloys and plastics

The TRISERT-3® thread inserts, made from steel or stainless steel, fulfil the highest of requirements, e.g. in medical technology or in the maritime or groceries industry.
