Description
Overview:
The Thread Insert 14mm for Repair and Reinforcement by Volkel is a durable metal insert designed to restore damaged threads and strengthen new threads in softer materials. Sized for M14 threaded holes, it provides a robust internal thread where the original has stripped, worn, or needs reinforcement. Suitable for a wide range of workshop and site repairs, it is commonly used on metal components in construction equipment, plant, and garden machinery, including engine casings, gear housings, brackets, and fixtures. Easy to install with the correct insert tools, it creates a reliable, long-lasting thread that accepts the original M14 fastener. Manufactured by Volkel (MPN: 07328), it offers a consistent specification for maintenance engineers, tradespeople, and DIY users who require strong and repeatable thread repairs.
