Note 1: The thread form of Parts NR440004. NR 832006 and NI 832006 is designed to accept either a machine screw of Type F tapping screw of the thread size designed. Each of the other parts accommodates a tapping screw of the size indicated.

Note 2: For maximum screw pull-out resistance with Design 1 parts, the boss I.D. should be as specified above to provide an interference fit with the screw. On-sert fasteners can also be used where the scew clears the I.D. of the boss, but this arrangement reduces resistance to screw pull-out.

Note 3: Design 2 parts should always be installed with the appropriate applicator tool which is designed to protect the projecting thread form from deformation by pressure or a direct blow. Although Design 1 parts may be installed by tapping directly on the top of the fasteners with a hammer, the magentized applicator tool facilitates handling and positioning.

On-SertFastenersSingleHelicalThread.jpg These distinctive fasteners with a single helical thread slip over hollow plastic bosses and prevent splitting when screws are driven. They also pervent cross-threading and resist screw pull-out. Yet screws may be removed without harming the fastenders or the boss. On-sert fasteners thus preform the same function solid inserts byt cost only about one-fifth as much. One type is used when screws enter the top of a boss while another type is used when screws enter the bottom of the boss.
