Application

You use the V-COIL inserting tool in maintenance and repair work where the insert must be driven into a prepared STI thread for M 12 X 1.25. The tool choice follows the original thread and the required connector setup.

The connector named in the product data helps select the drive setup, while the thread designation defines the repair size.

Application

  • for installing V-COIL wire thread inserts in prepared M 12 X 1.25 receiving threads
  • for the insert installation stage after drilling and STI tapping
  • for controlled repair work in maintenance, workshop, and service environments
  • for use with the drive connector and insert size stated in the product data

Note Use the tool only for insert installation and not as a tap, drill, gauge, or thread cleaning tool.

Benefits

  • Dedicated tool function keeps insert installation separate from drilling and tapping.
  • Thread designation M 12 X 1.25 helps match the tool to the repair size.
  • Drive connector information in the title supports selection of the drive setup where stated.
  • Controlled installation supports correct insert placement in the prepared receiving thread.
Drawbacks
  • The inserting tool is useful only with matching V-COIL inserts and prepared receiving threads, so check the repair size before use.

  2. Check that the receiving thread has already been prepared.
  3. Select the matching V-COIL insert for the tool.
