The A-L Series™ Insert features a knurled body and large diameter-low profile head making it ideal for use in punched or drilled holes. It offers the highest all around strength characteristics and has been designed to be used with Grade 5 or Metric 8.8/9.8 mating screws. The A-L Series™ is AVK’s most versatile performer.

The A-L Series™ Insert can be installed using AVK’s ARO brand Pneumatic Tools or AVK’s SPP™ Pneumatic/Hydraulic Tools. These tools can be located at any position on your assembly line. The A-L Series™ can be installed either before or after finish.

 

EXCEPTIONAL TORQUE STRENGTH is achieved as the insert’s knurled body expands FILLING THE HOLE.
QUALITY INSTALLATIONS even invariable thickness materials are assured by AVK’s spin/spin ARO Pneumatic Tools and our SPP™ Pneumatic/Hydraulic Tools.
SUPERIOR THREAD STRENGTH is provided due to our internal rolled thread manufacturing process.
THREADS GAUGE before and after installation due to the increased cross-sectional thickness of the threaded area. Thread dilation is prevented.
INVENTORY REDUCTION is possible because of the A-L Series’™ wide grip range capacity. It is 2.5 times greater than conventional rivet nuts.
CORROSION RESISTANCE is provided by our standard zinc/yellow dichromate finish (96 hrs. salt spray to white corrosion). For exceptional corrosion protection we offer a tin/zinc alloy finish.
