NOTE
1.The thread form of Parts NR440004, NR832006 and NI832006
is designed to accept either a machine screw or Type F tapping
screw of the thread size designated. Each of the other parts
accommodates a tapping screw of the size indicated.
NOTE 2.For maximum screw pull-out resistance with Design
1 parts, the boss I.D. should be as specified above to provide
an interference fit with the screw. On-sert fasteners can also
be used where the screw clears the I.D. of the boss, but this
arrangement reduces resistance to screw pull-out.
NOTE 3.Design 2 parts should always be installed with
teh appropriate applicator tool which is designed to protect
the projecting thread form from deformation by pressure or a
direct blow. Although Design 1 parts may be installed by tapping
directly on the top of the fasteners with a hammer, the magnetized
applicator tool facilitates handling and positioning.
These distinctive fasteners with a single helical thread slip
over hollow plastic bosses and prevent splitting when screws
are driven. They also prevent cross-threading and resist screw
pull-out. Yet screws may be removed without harming the fasteners
or the boss. On-sert fasteners thus perform the same function
as solid inserts but cost only about one-fifth as much. One
type is used when screws enter the top of a boss while another
type is used when screws enter the bottom of the boss. |
