Sleeve, for Ø 5 mm Holes, Steel, with M4 Internal Thread

Product Details

What is a Thread Sleeve M4 5x15mm used for?

Thread sleeves are used to create a strong M4 internal thread in a pre drilled hole for a secure, repeatable fixing. This version is designed for press fit installation into 5 mm holes, helping you avoid tapping directly into the base material.

What hole size do I need to install this sleeve?

This product is intended for a 5.00 mm drilled hole. When the sleeve is pressed in, the sleeve provides an M4 internal thread for the screw or connector you use next.

Is this sleeve suitable for galvanized or zinc plated use?

Yes. This Thread Sleeve is supplied with a zinc plated finish, which helps provide improved corrosion resistance for typical indoor and many external sheltered applications. If you are fixing in a particularly damp environment, consider matching the rest of your fasteners to the same protection level.

How does the internal thread work with M4 screws and connectors?

The sleeve has an M4 internal thread, so you can use compatible M4 screws to secure your components. It can also be used as a capped bolt for connectors, depending on your connector design and installation method.

What is the total length of the sleeve, and why does it matter?

The sleeve length is 15 mm. The length is important because it determines the amount of thread engagement available in the hole and how firmly the connection can be held, especially when multiple components are stacked.

What installation method should I expect to use?

This model is designed for press fit installation in a 5 mm diameter hole. In practice, this usually means using a suitable pressing tool or gentle pressing action until the sleeve sits fully and squarely in the prepared hole.

Does this product come with a warranty?

Yes. It is covered by the Hafele Lifetime Guarantee for 25 years, giving you additional reassurance on quality for the intended application.
