Thread Inserts

The Recoil system consists of precision inserts, quality high speed taps and easy to use installation tools which are used for repairing damaged screw threads or creating strong new threads. Recoil helically wound screw-thread inserts are generally manufactured from type 304 (18-8) stainless steel wire cold rolled into a diamond shaped cross section. Recoil inserts can be supplied in other materials such as Inconel, Nimonic 90, Phosphor Bronze and Type 316 stainless steel.

Recoil inserts are available in either standard free running form or screw lock type which provides an internal locking feature. Inserts are manufactured for every thread form including UNC, UNF, BSC, BSW, BSP, BSF, BA, NPT and ISO Metric thread sizes.
