CoilThread inserts have the smallest required boss Thin Wall Insert
diameter of any internal threaded insert of the same
nominal thread size. The diamond shaped helically coiled CoilThread Insert
wire design allows the inserts to engage the threads in
the parent material and at the same time accept a male
fastener. Consequently, they do not need a thick wall
structure to support the internal threads.
Tangless vs Tanged
KATO Tangless CoilThread inserts are identical in form, fit, and function to the conventional tanged inserts.
In fact, Tangless CoilThread inserts are identical to tanged inserts in every way except for their method of
installation and removal, and they have the exact same procurement specification (NASM8846 for unified sizes
and MA1565 for metric sizes).
• FOD-Free Design: No tangs to break off, retrieve or lose. • Lower pricing than competitive inserts.
• Approved for use on military programs by NASM8846, • Complete range of unified and metric sizes, locking and non-

• Bi-Directional design eliminates insert orientation requirements.
• Quick, non-destructive removal prevents damage to the parent
material and the insert.

It is important to select the correct insert length in order to balance the bolt tensile strength against the shear strength of
the parent material. The five insert lengths are shown in the table below.
Select the insert length which will produce a thread system strong enough to fracture the bolt before it will strip or
damage either the parent material or the insert.

Example: If the parent material shear strength is 10 ksi and the Example: If the parent material shear strength is 70
bolt tensile strength is 54 ksi, the correct insert nominal length MPa and the bolt strength is 300 MPa, the correct insert
is 2D (2 diameters). nominal length is 1.5D (1-1/2 diameters).
Standard, readily available bolts and screws that require no special hardware are used with CoilThread inserts. The
bolt must engage the entire length of the insert to achieve maximum assembly strength. To ensure against partial
engagement, KATO strongly recommends the tang always be removed. This will also guarantee that the locking coil(s)
will be engaged by the full threads of the bolt (when screw locking inserts are used). If design parameters prevent the
tang from being removed, KATO recommends using Tangless CoilThread inserts.
In addition, CoilThread inserts and tools are in conformance with the following military, aerospace, and commercial
standards and specifications:

Locking Locking

KATO screw locking inserts exert a prevailing torque on male threaded fasteners to prevent loosening due to vibration
or impact. Locking inserts eliminate the need for costly and less desirable locking mechanisms. They are excellent in
adjusting screw applications by preventing the male fastener from creeping.
Locking Torques:
Locking inserts conform to NAS1130 (unified Tangless),
NA0276 (metric Tangless), NASM21209 (unified tanged),
Locking coil segments exert
MA3329 (metric tanged), and produce locking torques prevailing torque between the
in accordance with NASM8846 (unified) and MA1565 thread flanks of the screw, or
(metric) when used with heat treated cadmium-plated bolt, to resist loosening.
bolts. When using unplated heat treated or stainless
steel bolts, an anti-seize compound, e.g. molybdenum
disulfide, must be used in order to minimize galling and
assure maximum cycle life. Wear life of the male fastener
can also be improved by specifying dry film lubricant or
cadmium plating. The use of 300 series stainless steel
bolts should be avoided when using locking inserts. Use
A286 aircraft quality screws or equivalent (Rc 36-43).
A proper STI thread is paramount to creating a precise finished thread profile. KATO recommends the following
procedure to ensure the best installation and function of a CoilThread insert.
Drill: (step 1)
Drilled hole dimensions are tabulated on pages 14-17.
The minor diameters tabulated conform to NASM33537 and MA1567, and must be met after
tapping, and after any supplemental treatment (anodize, chem-film, etc.)
The drill sizes shown are recommendations only, based on expected material behavior
for increased tap life in harder materials. Actual individual conditions may require varied
drill sizes in order to produce the correct minor diameter after tapping. For example,
compensation must be made in tolerances for plating.
The “F” dimension minimum (pages 14-17) is based on installed insert length, plus set down,
plus tap chamfer length, plus chip clearance.
For plug taps with a nominal diameter of 5/16” and M8 or smaller, the “F” dimension minimum
allows for a male center on the tap equal in length to the nominal tap diameter divided by 2.
Boss Ø
Minimum Material Thickness:
The nominal insert length is the minimum through hole length (material thickness) without
counter-sinking and with the insert located 1/4 pitch below the top surface. With normal
countersink and set-down, the minimum through hole material thickness equals the “H”
dimension (the minimum full thread depth), shown tabulated on pages 14-17.
Min. Wall
Thickness
Boss Diameter:
Major Ø The recommended boss diameter is two times the STI tap major diameter max. For most
materials, a minimum wall thickness equal to the nominal bolt diameter may be used when
measured from the centerline of the hole (min boss diameter equals two times nominal
thread size).
Countersink: (step 2)
Before tapping, it is good practice to countersink 120º±5º to “M” diameter (pages 14-17) in
order to prevent a feather edge at the start of the hole. The 60º per side countersink angle
is used because it is the same as the angle of the tapped thread, insert cross-section, and
inserting tool prewinder tip. This combination provides for smooth and rapid production
installations.
The “F” and “H” values (pages 14-17) are calculated with a countersink depth of 1/2 pitch.
Tap: (step 3)
Tap using CoilThread STI Thread cutting taps (page 41). The pitch diameter limits shown
tabulated on pages 15 & 17 conform to NASM33537 and/or MA1567 respectively, and
must be met in order to assure proper thread fit after installation of the CoilThread insert.
Gage: (step 4)
CoilThread STI Plug Gages (page 51) are used to check the major and pitch diameters
of the STI tapped holes. Gaging the tapped hole prior to insert installation is critical
to ensure the accuracy of the finished thread. If the tapped hole gages correctly, the
installed CoilThread insert will be within the thread tolerance. No further gaging is
necessary. If gaging is attempted after the CoilThread is installed the Go thread plug
gage may not enter freely; however, the insert will seat itself when the bolt or screw is
installed and tightened (reference NASM33537 and MA1567). In fact, it is impossible to
gage an installed locking insert.
Install: (step 5)
Follow the instructions accompanying the KATO installation tool for proper insert
installation. Insert installation depth is dependent on the presence of a countersink (3/4
to 1-1/2 turns below the surface with a countersink and 1/4 to 1/2 turns below the surface
without a countersink).

Notes:
1. All non-plated KATO Locking CoilThread inserts (Tangless and tanged) are dyed red for identification in accordance with
NAS1130, NA0276, and NASM21209. The red dye is printer’s ink and may be removed with a cleaning solution.
2. Dry Film Lubricant and/or the Cadmium plating are called out in NAS1130, NASM21209, NA0276, MA3280, MA3281,
MA3330, and MA3331. Any other coatings or platings will deviate from these specifications.
1. Nominal length is a calculated number and cannot be measured in the free state. It is the actual installed length plus 1/2 pitch.
2. The number of free coils is the total number of revolutions, and has a tolerance of ±1/4 coil. For Tangless inserts, the number
of coils is counted from notch to notch. For tanged inserts, the number of coils is counted 90° from the tang.

1. The “H” limit indicates the tolerance range above the basic pitch diameter. Each “H” number is equal to
0.0005 inch above the basic pitch diameter.
2. The Class of Fit specifies the pitch diameter tolerance of the tapped hole, with class 3B (Unified) and 4H
(Metric) being the tighter range usually specified in military/aerospace applications. Class 2B (Unified)
and 5H (Metric) taps provide a broader tolerance range or looser fit, and are normally specified in
commercial/industrial applications.
3. The class of fit of the installed insert is controlled by the class of fit of the tapped hole.
KATO offers two types of STI Thread Plug Gages (for unified sizes):
Working Gages:
Recommended for production use since their greater tolerance allows for more wear.
Reference Gages:
Have pitch diameters at or very close to the basic size and are to be used as master gages.
KATO STI Gages include a “GO” and “HI” (NO GO) member. The Working gage GO member has a 0.0002 wear
allowance on the pitch diameter. The GO member checks the basic pitch diameter, major diameter minimum and
lead. The HI member checks the maximum pitch diameter. The minor diameter must be checked separately with a
graduated pin set.

1. Not compatible with the KATO One Pawl Fits All, 2KHEM, and 2KREM at this time.
2. Pawl Kit includes one pawl, two pins, and two springs.
In addition, when used with the KATO KFS-20 electric driver (CT5420) the KHE installation tool system is auto-reversing.
Once the insert is installed the driver will automatically reverse, minimizing overall installation time. Utilizing a powerful
electric motor and two torque adjusting compression springs (one for smaller thread sizes and one for larger thread
sizes), the KFS-20 electric driver (CT5420) is capable of installing inserts up to 3/8-16” & M12 (eliminating the need
to purchase two drivers). This provides operators the ability to precisely adjust the auto-reversing torque to ensure
consistent installation and prolong the life of the mandrel assembly.

Another important component to the air tool system is the KATO Filter-Regulator-Lubricator (2KFRL-1). The Filter-
Regulator-Lubricator cleans the air, allows precise control of the air pressure, and lubricates the air motor. When used
together, the KPA tool is capable of installing KATO CoilThread inserts up to 1/2” and M12 coarse and fine thread sizes.
For installation of Tangless CoilThread insert sizes 2-56, 4-40, M2.5, and M3, the KATO torque limiting Clutch Drive
(CT9602) is required to control the installation torque generated by the air motor; preventing damage to the Front-End
Assembly.

The KATO Prewinder Electric (KPE) installation tool is designed for medium to high volume users of KATO Tangless
and tanged strip-feed packaged CoilThread inserts (can also be used with bulk inserts). The KPE tool is the industry’s
first and only electric installation tool that utilizes a Prewinder, which compresses the insert allowing for much easier and
consistent installation. The KPE tool is comprised of the KATO KFS-20 brushless electric driver (CT5420), the innovative
KATO prewinder adapter (CT5420-PA), and a front end assembly (see table on page 69).
In addition, the KPE tool is auto-reversing; once the insert is installed the driver will automatically reverse minimizing
overall installation time. Utilizing a powerful electric motor and two torque adjusting compression springs (one for smaller
thread sizes and one for larger thread sizes) the KFS-20 electric driver (CT5420) is capable of installing inserts up to 1/4”
and M6 thread sizes. Allowing operators to precisely adjust the auto-reversing torque, will ensure consistent installation
and prolong the life of the mandrel assembly.

The KATO Tangless removal tool simply threads into the installed insert, grabs the removal notch and threads the
insert out without damaging the internal STI threads or surface of the casting (unlike competitor tools that must be
manually lined up with the drive notch of the installed insert). Another unique feature to the KATO Tangless removal
tool is it’s ability to back out or adjust an insert that has been installed too deep; giving operators greater control over
installation depth.
As an added benefit, the mandrel assembly portion of the KATO Tangless removal tool can be withdrawn from the
blue handle and inserted into the KATO SB-400C (CT5405) or SB-650C (CT5406) Electric Drivers for high-speed
removal, or adjustment, for a large number of inserts. This is impossible with competitor removal tools or with
conventional tanged style inserts.
Tanged: The KATO Tanged Removal/Extraction Tool (KRT) is designed with a wedge-shaped tip and an integrated
handle. The sharp tip is used to dig into the installed tanged insert (a hammer may be required). The handle is then
used to turn the tool counter-clockwise while applying pressure until the insert is extracted from the parent material.
Extraction of a tanged insert is only possible if the insert isn’t installed too deep, and the KRT can reach it.
The extraction process typically results in damage to the surface of the parent material and possibly the STI Threads
as well. KATO suggests caution when using the KRT to minimize damage to parent material. To avoid damage to
your casting and minimize rework KATO recommends using Tangless CoilThread inserts.
Consider switching to KATO Tangless CoilThread inserts and never use a destructive tanged extraction tool again!

The standard KTBT tool is designed to break off tangs for inserts up to 2 diameter in length. A longer punch is
needed for 2.5 & 3 diameter nominal length inserts (see table on page 85).
To eliminate the tang break-off process, and to ensure a FOD-Free assembly consider switching to
KATO Tangless CoilThread inserts. There are no tangs to break-off, retrieve, or lose!

KATO Perma-Coil Kits (Screw Thread Inserts for Maintenance, Repair and
Overhaul) are universally accepted method of repairing stripped threads
in all types of materials. By using KATO Perma-Coil Kits, damaged threads
can be brought back to the original thread size, and better than new. Thread
wear, corrosion and galling will be virtually eliminated, and the assembly will
be stronger than the original with CoilThread inserts. Unlike threaded solid
bushing type fasteners, CoilThread inserts provide space and weight savings.
In addition, CoilThread inserts eliminate the need for oversized drilling and
tapping, thread welding, or plugging of damaged holes.
At KATO, there is only one standard of quality for original equipment or repair.
KATO CoilThread inserts meet or exceed all applicable military, aerospace,
and commercial standards.
