Screw-In Sleeve, with Rim, Steel

Product Details

Is this screw in sleeve suitable for an M6 internal thread?

Yes. This part is designed with an M6 internal thread, so it is intended to accept an M6 screw or bolt. If you are matching existing fittings, the internal thread size is the key detail to confirm before ordering.

What does D7.5x17 mm mean for fit and placement?

D7.5 refers to the sleeve outer diameter, and 17 mm is the working length of the sleeve. Together these dimensions help you choose the right sleeve for the hole size and the required engagement length in your application.

How do I install the Screw In Sleeve, and do I need a tool?

It is designed to be installed using a hexagon socket drive, SW6. For best results, use a suitable hex key or driver that matches the SW6 size. Ensuring the sleeve is started straight will help prevent cross threading when the fastener is fitted later.

What is the meaning of the rim version, and will it help with retention?

This sleeve has a rim. A rim version typically provides a clearer seating surface during installation, which can help the sleeve sit correctly and reduce the likelihood of it shifting when tightened down.

What does the yellow chromatized finish indicate?

The yellow chromatized surface is an applied corrosion resistance and finish treatment commonly used on steel fixings and sleeves. It can help improve resistance to minor corrosion, while also providing a clear identification colour for easier sorting during assembly.

How many sleeves come in a pack?

This product is supplied as a 100 pack, which is convenient for workshop use, repeat jobs, and keeping a consistent supply for future repairs and maintenance.
