E-Z Lok 303-10-PK5 Thread Insert Pack
This E-Z Lok 303-10-PK5 kit supplies five heavy-wall self-locking thread inserts made from 18-8 stainless steel. They create a 5/8"-11 coarse internal thread inside a 7/8"-9 external thread for metal components. The plain finish suits general-purpose repair and reinforcement tasks. Installers drill a 49/64 inch hole to accept the insert.
Suits damaged-thread repair in metal
Mechanics and fabricators who need to restore stripped or worn 5/8"-11 threads in metal housings will find these inserts match the required dimensions. The self-locking design resists vibration loosening once installed. Buyers who want more inserts per package or a different internal thread size should look at other kits. The 7/8"-9 external thread limits use to holes tapped for that specific size.
7/8"-9 external thread with 5/8"-11 internal thread
The defining specification is the thread pair: a 7/8"-9 coarse external thread and a 5/8"-11 coarse internal thread, both right-hand. This combination decides whether the insert fits the existing tapped hole and accepts the intended fastener. Verify the host material can be drilled to 49/64 inch and tapped to 7/8"-9 before ordering. The minimum installation depth is 13/16 inch.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the insert is seated correctly after installation?
Verify the insert sits flush or slightly below the parent material surface, with the internal 5/8"-11 threads clean and the self-locking feature resisting rotation when a bolt is threaded in.
What comes in the package and what must I supply myself?
The pack contains 5 stainless-steel inserts; you must provide a 49/64 in drill bit, a 7/8"-9 tap, and an installation tool matched to the insert design.
Which thread size should I select for a 5/8"-11 bolt?
Choose the insert listed with internal thread size 5/8"-11 and external thread 7/8"-9, as this matches the bolt and the prepared hole.
