Application

You use this V-COIL inserting tool to install a wire thread insert into a prepared STI receiving thread for UN 2" x 8". It is relevant after the damaged thread has been drilled and tapped for the insert system, and the decisive selection criteria are the insert size, the thread designation, and the stated drive connector.

UN identifies a Unified inch thread series, so the stated diameter and threads per inch are the decisive matching data. In repair workshops and maintenance work, the inserting tool belongs to the installation stage only, so it must be matched with the correct insert, STI tap, and inspection step rather than selected as a stand-alone repair solution.

Application

  • for driving V-COIL wire thread inserts into a prepared STI receiving thread
  • for UN 2" x 8" when the insert size and the prepared thread match exactly
  • for controlled insertion in repair workshops, maintenance work, and series repair processes
  • for tool setups with the stated drive connector where the holder or drive tool is selected separately

Note Use the inserting tool only after drilling and STI tapping have been completed according to the repair sequence.

Benefits

  • The tool is dedicated to insert installation after the receiving thread has been prepared.
  • The stated drive connector gives a clear selection criterion for the drive or holder setup.
  • The size reference UN 2" x 8" helps you keep insert tool and thread repair size aligned.
  • Separate insertion control supports repeatable positioning of the wire thread insert in repair work.
Drawbacks
  • The inserting tool does not drill, tap, or inspect the repair, so use the matching V-COIL drilling, STI tapping, and gauge steps where required.

Step by step

  1. Confirm that drilling and STI tapping have already been completed for the selected repair size.
  2. Select the V-COIL wire thread insert that matches the repaired thread.
  3. Place the insert on the inserting tool according to the insert installation direction.
  4. Drive the insert into the prepared receiving thread with controlled alignment.
  5. Stop when the insert reaches the required installation depth for the repair.
  6. Remove the inserting tool without pulling the insert out of position.
  7. Break the tang when the repair process requires a tang-free internal thread.
  8. Check the repaired thread before installing the screw.
