M8 x 17mm Hex Socket Flanged Wood Insert Nut Type B Zinc Plated

Hex Socket Screw‑In Insert with Conical Flange – Zinc‑Plated Steel (M6–M10)

Create strong, reliable machine-threaded anchor points in wood, composites or light metals with these precision-engineered screw-in inserts. Each insert features a hex-drive recess for fast, accurate installation with an Allen key and a conical flange that seats flush and spreads the load evenly. The tapered outer thread cuts cleanly into a pre-drilled hole, providing exceptional grip without splitting the host material. Manufactured from durable carbon steel and finished in bright zinc, these inserts resist corrosion and are available in metric sizes M6 to M10, with various lengths to suit different thicknesses. Ideal for furniture assembly, joinery, machinery and general construction where a neat, secure fastening is required.

Installation

• The mounting hole should not be larger than the outer diameter of the thread.
• When locking teeth, some wood glue can be applied to the outer to improve the fastening effect.
• Make a hole smaller than the outer diameter by 0.2-0.5mm, and use the drive tool to lock the nuts.

Key Features & Benefits

• Hex-drive installation: Built-in hexagon recess ensures quick, precise fitting with a standard Allen key.
• Conical flange: Tapered flange distributes load evenly and sits flush with the surface for a clean, professional finish.
• Self-tapping tapered thread: Cuts into timber, plastics or soft metals to form a strong, vibration-resistant connection.
• Durable materials: Carbon steel with bright zinc plating offers strength and corrosion resistance.
• Versatile sizing: Available in common metric sizes (M6–M10) and multiple lengths to match different panel thicknesses.

Typical Applications

• Ready-to-assemble (RTA) and flat-pack furniture
• Cabinetry, shelving and storage systems
• Machinery frames and equipment enclosures
• DIY projects requiring robust, reusable threaded inserts
