Product Details

What is an M6 screw in sleeve used for?

The Screw In Sleeve M6 D10x12mm is designed to create a strong, threaded insert so you can fasten screws into a drilled hole with an M6 internal thread. It is commonly used in furniture making, light industrial assemblies, and situations where you want a reliable thread in thinner or softer materials.

Will this sleeve fit a Ø 7 or Ø 9 mm hole?

Yes. This model is specified as being for a Ø 7 or Ø 9 mm hole, which makes it useful when you are matching either common hole sizes or mixed workshop measurements.

What are the key dimensions I should check before fitting?

Confirm the length of 12 mm, the outer diameter of 10 mm, and the core diameter of 7 mm. These determine how the sleeve sits in the material and how much thread engagement you will get when the M6 screw is fitted.

How do I install the sleeve, and what tool do I need?

This is a screw in type sleeve, so it is installed by screwing it into the prepared hole using an appropriate driver for the sleeve’s slot drive. In many jobs, you will find a screwdriver or driver bit that fits the slot gives good control, helping you seat it securely.

Is the zinc plated finish suitable for indoor and workshop use?

Zinc plated steel is chosen for good corrosion resistance in typical indoor environments and general workshop use. If you are fitting in damp or outdoor conditions, it is still worth considering your overall corrosion protection requirements for the full assembly.

How many sleeves are included in the pack?

You receive 100 sleeves per pack. This makes it practical for repeat projects, small production runs, or keeping a ready supply for routine repairs and re fittings.
