Description
Overview:
The Volkel 8 mm Thread Insert (MPN 07311) is a wire coil insert used to repair or reinforce internal threads in metal parts and softer substrates. Made from durable steel wire, it restores a strong, wear‐resistant thread in components that have stripped or worn holes. Once installed, it provides a reliable M8 thread (8 mm, approximately 0.31 inches) that can withstand repeated tightening and service loads. Suitable for construction and garden machinery, it is commonly used in engine covers, gearbox housings, brackets, casings, and other stressed fixings on equipment such as compactors, mowers and pumps. This insert helps extend service life, reduce downtime, and avoid the cost of replacing expensive castings or housings.
Key Features:
- M8 size (8 mm, approximately 0.31 inches) for an accurate, consistent fit
- Wire thread insert design delivers high strength and wear resistance in service
- Restores damaged or stripped threads to original size for standard fasteners
- Reinforces threads in aluminium and other softer materials for improved pull-out strength
- Durable steel construction for dependable performance under vibration and load
- Corrosion-resistant finish suitable for workshop and outdoor environments
- Helps prevent thread damage from over-tightening by distributing load along the coil
- Cost-effective alternative to replacing parts or re-machining housings
- Compatible with common thread repair tooling for straightforward installation
- Suitable across construction plant, agricultural and garden machinery maintenance
Typical Applications:
Repairing stripped M8 holes in engine and pump housings, gearboxes, casings, brackets, guards, and handle fixings. Reinforcing new threads in aluminium or other soft alloys. Creating durable service threads in metal components exposed to vibration, repeated bolt cycles, or higher torque settings on construction and garden equipment.
