Midwest Fasteners Plain Steel Threaded Insert Nut

Midwest Fasteners plain steel threaded insert nuts are designed to be set into a parent material to create a durable, reusable internal 1/4-20 thread in soft or worn material. This family is available in two lengths — 1/4-20 x 1/2" and 1/4-20 x 3/4" — both sharing a consistent 1/4 inch diameter and the same 1/4-20 thread pitch, so you can choose the length that best matches the depth of your parent material. Once installed, either length accepts standard 1/4-20 fasteners, giving you a dependable internal thread for repair, woodworking, and fabrication work. The plain steel construction keeps the part straightforward and economical for shop and maintenance use where a no-frills, functional insert is needed.

Key Features

  • Size Range: Available in 1/4-20 x 1/2" and 1/4-20 x 3/4" lengths, both sharing a consistent 1/4 inch diameter.
  • Material & Finish: Plain steel construction keeps the insert straightforward and economical for general shop and maintenance applications.
  • Type: Threaded insert nut designed to provide a reusable internal thread within a parent material.
  • Thread: 1/4-20 thread accepts standard 1/4-20 fasteners once the insert is installed.
  • Reusable Design: Provides a durable internal thread that can be reused repeatedly in repair and assembly work.
  • Length Options: The 1/2" length suits shallower parent material while the 3/4" length provides added embedment depth.

Technical Specifications

  • Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete technical specifications.

Typical Applications

  • Woodworking projects needing a reusable metal thread in soft material.
  • Repair work where original threads have stripped or worn out.
  • Fabrication projects requiring a dependable 1/4-20 threaded connection point.
  • Maintenance tasks where a standard nut cannot be used in the assembly.
  • Applications needing extra embedment depth, where the longer 3/4" length option provides added holding length over the 1/2" length.

Why Midwest Fasteners?

Midwest Fasteners supplies plain steel threaded inserts with consistent sizing and finish across both the 1/4-20 x 1/2" and 1/4-20 x 3/4" lengths, giving contractors, maintenance techs, and fabricators a dependable 1/4-20 option for projects that call for a specialty nut rather than a standard fastener. The plain steel finish and precise 1/4-20 thread pitch help ensure each insert performs as expected in repair, woodworking, and assembly work, with the same reliable internal thread whichever length you select.
