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.
