Press Lock Type Inserts line drawing

Brass Press Lock Type Inserts are an innovative type of press-fit expansion insert designed specifically for thermoplastic molding applications. Manufactured by Conex Metals, these brass inserts incorporate a unique self-locking design that ensures a secure, low-torque installation with a permanent, leak-proof connection. Produced with precision and high-quality brass, our inserts offer exceptional durability and reliability, making them a trusted choice for various industrial and engineering applications.


Key Features of Press Lock Type Inserts

  • Self-Locking Expansion Mechanism:
    The press lock design allows the insert to expand upon installation, engaging securely with the molded material. This locking action minimizes the required screw installation torque and enhances the stability of the threaded connection.

  • Material & Corrosion Resistance:
    Made from high-quality brass, these inserts offer excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in various environmental conditions. They are ideally suited for use in water and gas applications in thermoplastic components.

  • Low Installation Torque:
    The design ensures that minimal force is needed to achieve a secure connection. This is particularly beneficial in thermoplastic molding, where excessive torque can damage the surrounding material.

  • Permanent and Leak-Proof:
    Once pressed into place, the insert forms a permanent threaded connection that cannot be disassembled, ensuring reliable performance over the product’s lifespan.
