This V-COIL free running type S refill pack is for repairing or reinforcing an internal BSW 3/16 x 24 thread with an insert length of 3.0 D. Use it when the prepared STI thread and the mating screw connection require this exact designation and length.
BSW identifies a Whitworth inch thread used on British standard fastening and repair tasks. Free running inserts are selected when normal screw running behavior is required after installation. Check the thread designation, tool stage, holder guidance, lubrication, and inspection method before work starts. This makes the refill pack specific to maintenance repair, machine service, fixture repair, and spare part restoration.
- rebuilding a worn or stripped internal BSW 3/16 x 24 thread after the hole has been prepared for the insert system
- using 3.0 D inserts when this length is specified for thread engagement or component wall thickness
- keeping spare inserts available for recurring repairs without replacing the complete kit
- controlled maintenance work where thread engagement must be checked after installation
Note Use only with the correct STI tap, installation tool, and thread preparation process for BSW 3/16 x 24.
- 10 piece refill pack supports recurring repairs where only inserts are consumed
- thread designation BSW 3/16 x 24 reduces the risk of mixing similar repair sizes
- V-COIL system structure keeps insert choice linked to the prepared STI thread and length 3.0 D
- repair concept can retain the original screw size when preparation and installation are controlled
Drawbacks
- This refill pack does not include preparation or installation tools; use a suitable V-COIL repair kit or tool set when the required tools are not already available.
- Confirm that the damaged thread is BSW 3/16 x 24 and that the selected insert length is 3.0 D.
- Prepare the hole according to the V-COIL repair process before inserting the wire thread insert.
- Cut the STI thread with the matching STI tap for the repair system.
- Clean the prepared thread so chips do not interfere with insert seating.
- Place the insert on the installation tool and drive it into the prepared thread.
- Remove the tang if the selected insert execution and process require that step.
- Check screw engagement by hand and inspect the repaired thread area.

- What does free running type S mean in assembly?

- Where can you find V-COIL thread repair technical information?

- Where can you find the VÖLKEL thread repair catalog?
- Use the VC 23 catalog as PDF.
