Stripped & Fixed
When threads become stripped, worn or
damaged for any
reason, the
strength and
reliability are
greatly reduced.
Potentially
dangerous
situations are
eliminated when
the damaged
thread is repaired
with Heli-Coil inserts. The Heli-Coil
threaded insert provides stronger, more
reliable threads than the original tapped
hole and at the same time eliminates the
possibility of thread wear, corrosion,
galling, seizing and rust.
Heli-Coil has the most effective and
u
niversally accepted method of thread
repair. Heli-Coil inserts quickly and
permanently restore stripped, worn
or damaged threads to their original
size and condition.
The inserts work in just
about any part or material;
aluminum, magnesium,
cast iron, bronze, etc.
The use of light weight
(and soft) materials in fuel
efficient cars means more
thread damage… there is
a Heli-Coil insert to repair
virtually every application.
Damaged threads can be restored to
better than new condition in spark plug
ports, carburetor fuel inlets, transmission
housings, oil drain plugs, exhaust
and intake manifolds, head bolt holes, brake
calipers and more!
The Heli-Coil system makes all other thread
r
epair methods basically obsolete: welding,
plugging, oversized fasteners and oversized
drilling of mating parts. It’s faster – you
save time, increase your shop’s repair
capabilities and restore parts
t
hat otherwise would
have to be scrapped.
Heli-Coil repairs
are available in the
following standard
thread series and size
ranges: Inch Coarse
(#8 thru 1-1/2), Inch
Fine (#10 thru 1-1/2),
Metric Coarse (M3 thru
M20), Metric Fine (M8 thru
M18), Spark Plug (10mm, 12mm, 14mm,
18mm & 7/8"), and Pipe Thread
(1/8" thru 1").
In addition to the above, custom sizes
are available for various repairs.
Heli-Coil Stainless
Steel Inserts
H
eli-Coil inserts are precision formed
c
oils of extremely hard stainless steel
(18-8) diamond- shaped
wire. When installed
into a Heli-Coil tapped
hole, the insert
provides permanent
conventional screw
threads. The insert has
a driving “tang” for
installation which is
notched for easy
removal.

Installation
Drill
Drill out the damaged
threads using the drill
size specified on the kit
or set. Drill to sufficient
depth to accommodate
the insert length
and bolt or screw
being used
.
Tap
Use the Heli-Coil tap
supplied in the kit or set.
Check the size on the
shank to make sure
you have the right one.
Tap the hole to sufficient
depth to accommodate
the insert length
and bolt or screw
being used.
Install
Use the installation tool
supplied in the kit or set.
Just wind the insert into
the hole until the top coil
is 1/4 - 1/2 turn into the
tapped thread. Now you're
back to the original size
and the original size
fastener can be used.
Tang Removal
The tang must be removed to allow full
passage of the bolt or screw through the
insert. Place square (unchamfered) end of
a punch on the tang and strike sharply.
For inserts over 1/2", M14 and up, and
all spark plug sizes, use long nose pliers.
Holding the tang with the pliers, bend it
alternately in and out until it comes free.
Note: For Spark Plug repairs, NO
drilling is necessary. The Heli-Coil spark
plug kit contains a piloted reamer tap.
With this tap, the damaged threads are
removed and new threads are cut in one
continuous operation.
The Retention Principle
Heli-Coil inserts are
larger in diameter
before installation
than the tapped hole.
During installation,
the inserting tool
reduces the diameter
of the leading coil so
it can enter the
tapped hole. After the installation, each
high tensile stainless steel coil expands
outward against the tapped hole to
permanently anchor the insert.
