EZ-260-RS

Overview

The E-Z LOK EZ-260-RS is a reverse slot press insert designed for installation in plastic components. Manufactured from brass, this threaded insert allows for cold installation using standard tools or optional power drives. It is engineered to eliminate the need for chasing threads after molding and reduces reject waste caused by misalignment. The design ensures the insert will not back out or vibrate loose during operation.

Feature Summary

• Cold installation capability without heat
• Reverse slot design for secure retention
• Brass construction for durability
• Eliminates post-molding thread chasing

Applications

• Plastic component threading
• Molded part assembly
• Thread repair in soft materials

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (RS) indicates the reverse slot configuration required for your application. Confirm material specifications match the brass composition documented in official datasheets. Ensure compatibility with the intended plastic substrate before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to ensure authenticity and correct product identification.

Selection Notes

Select this insert when cold installation into plastic is required to prevent thermal damage. The reverse slot feature provides superior resistance to vibration loosening compared to standard inserts. Consider this option if eliminating post-molding machining steps is a priority. Verify that the internal thread size matches the target fastener requirements for the specific assembly.

Part Context

This component belongs to the E-Z LOK line of threaded inserts, which are specialized hardware solutions for creating durable threads in non-metallic substrates. The brand focuses on inserts that simplify manufacturing processes by allowing direct installation into molded parts. This specific model utilizes a press-fit mechanism rather than adhesive or heat-set methods.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify dimensional compatibility and thread pitch when considering alternative brands. Ensure any replacement maintains the reverse slot design characteristics for equivalent performance.
