Brass Moulding Insert (Hex-Head)
A hex-head brass insert featuring a hexagonal top surface for wrench engagement, multiple knurled retention bands, and precision internal threading. The hex drive allows the insert to be installed or removed using standard tools, making it ideal for serviceable, modular, or field-replaceable assemblies. Knurled bands provide anti-rotation grip within the host material. Commonly used in industrial control panels, equipment enclosures, modular furniture, and assemblies requiring periodic maintenance or component replacement.

Material & Quality Assurance
Moulding inserts are manufactured from CDA 360 and CDA 361 free-cutting brass, selected for their exceptional machinability. The alloy composition provides good corrosion resistance and adequate tensile strength for fastener applications.
Usage & Installation Guide
The installation method depends on the host material properties and production volume. Mould-in installation provides the strongest bond; heat staking is preferred for post-moulding installation; ultrasonic insertion creates rapid and clean installations.
