MFG # 1084-5CN075, HELI-COIL STANDARD FREE RUNNING INSERTS METRIC COARSE
Heli-Coil inserts are precision formed coils of extremely hard, diamond shaped 304 stainless
LIST PRICE
steel. When installed into an STI tapped hole, they provide permanent conventional 60° internal
screw threads. This assembled insert accommodates any standard bolt or screw as per MIL-S-7742
and AS8879 (UNJ controlled root radius).
$0.3964
Heli-Coil inserts are larger in diameter before installation than the tapped hole. During installation
the inserting tool applies torque to the tang reducing the diameter of

DRILLING INFORMATION
The minimum drilling depths shown below allow for the following
recommended practices:
1. Countersinking the drilled hole to prevent a feather edge at the
start of the tapped hole.
2. 3/4 - 1-1/2 pitch of insert "set-down" to allow for maximum
production tolerance. Dimensions are shown for both plug and
3/18/2021 | Page 3 of 4
bottoming taps.
(Note: Plug taps M8 and smaller have a male center and the
drilled hole depth dimensions allow for this length (one half of
the diameter of the holt).
Calculation of dimension "F" is as follows:
For Plug Taps M8 and smaller: F = Insert Nominal Length (Q) +
.5 (Bolt Nominal Diameter) + 4P (Tap Chamfer) + 1P (allowance
for countersink and maximum insert set-down).
For Plug Taps M10 and larger: F = Insert Nominal Length(Q) +
4P (Tap Chamfer) + 1P (allowance for countersink and maximum
insert set-down).
For Bottoming Taps: F = Insert Nominal Length (Q) + 2P (Tap
Chamfer) + 1P (allowance for countersink and maximum insert
set-down).
TAPPING INFORMATION
The minimum tapping depths (Dimension H) are the Minimum for
countersunk holes and an insert set-down of 1-1/2 pitch
maximum. The calculation for Dimension “H” is:
H=Insert Nominal Length Q+1P
The tapped hole must be held within the stated pitch diameter
limits for the required class of t for the installed Heli-Coil insert.
When anodize, Iridite or other nishes are used, all tapped hole
dimensions must be met after the nishes are applied.
Heli-Coil taps in various types and styles produce holes for
Tolerance Classes 4H5H or 3B and 5H or 2B for use in the general
range of aluminums, magnesiums, mild steels, free machining
stainless steels and other free machining materials. Conventional
shop practice and production procedures, speeds, feeds and
lubricants should be used in combination with proper xturing
and good tapping machines or tapping heads. The tapped hole
must be held within the stated pitch diameter limits for the
required Tolerance Class of t for the installed Heli-Coil insert.
For Standard (free running inserts), a tolerance class 5H or 2B is
recommended. For Screw- Lock inserts, a tolerance class 4H5H
or 3B is recommended in order to develop higher locking torques.
