Threaded Star Insert 1in Tubing Insert 4 Pack 3/8-16 USIndustrial

Description

Product Overview

The 4 Pack Threaded Star Type 1in Round Tubing Insert is engineered to deliver a robust, permanent fastening solution for 1‑inch diameter tubing with a wall thickness ranging from 16 to 18 gauge. Constructed from high‑strength steel and finished with a zinc plating, each insert offers superior corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in harsh industrial environments. The star‑shaped design provides a larger bearing surface, distributing load evenly and reducing stress concentrations. With a precise 3/8‑16 thread profile, these inserts guarantee a tight, leak‑free seal that meets demanding performance standards. The package includes four identical inserts, allowing for multiple installations or spare parts inventory, and is manufactured by USIndustrialFasteners, a trusted name in fastener technology.

Usage

These inserts are ideal for a wide range of applications where reliable, threaded connections are essential. Common use cases include hydraulic and pneumatic line assemblies, custom metal frameworks, automotive brake systems, and equipment maintenance where tubing must be securely joined to fittings or valves. The flush‑fit exterior ensures a clean, professional appearance, making them suitable for visible installations in machinery, production lines, and even specialty DIY projects. Their corrosion‑resistant coating allows use in outdoor or marine environments, while the robust steel core withstands high pressure and temperature fluctuations. Installation is straightforward with a standard tap or insertion tool, and the star geometry simplifies alignment, reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of cross‑threading.

FAQ

What tubing material is compatible with these inserts?

The inserts are designed for steel tubing but can also be used with aluminum or other metal alloys, provided the wall thickness falls within the 16‑18 gauge range.

Do I need any special tools to install the inserts?

Standard tapping tools or a simple insertion wrench compatible with a 3/8‑16 thread will suffice. Detailed installation instructions are included in the package.

How does the zinc plating affect the insert’s strength?

The zinc coating is thin enough to preserve the underlying steel’s mechanical properties while offering excellent protection against rust and chemical exposure.

Can these inserts be reused if removed?

While the inserts are designed for permanent installation, they can be removed with care using appropriate tools. Re‑use is possible if the threads remain undamaged.

What warranty does USIndustrialFasteners provide?

We offer a limited one‑year warranty covering material defects and workmanship, ensuring you receive a reliable product backed by our commitment to quality.
