What is a threaded bushing?

Threaded bushes are indispensable for repairs and threading in materials that cannot be tapped. Soft materials such as light alloys, plastics and compressed wood often have threads that are vulnerable to repeated stress. Excessive or frequent tightening can cause the threads to tear, rendering the part unusable.

Self-tapping sockets are particularly useful in this context. By creating their own thread during assembly, our Intervis sockets establish a strong anchorage with the material, avoiding the need to pre-drill, unlike other threaded inserts. This method offers increased resistance to tearing when loosened.

A threaded bush consists of a standardized thread and a matching external thread, including an external thread truncation and two slots with cutting edges. 

Using this set, the bushing can be screwed directly into a previously drilled smooth hole, similar to the use of a tap.

The advantages of an Intervis® threaded insert

Gardette Industries offers the Intervis® brandbrand, an innovative threaded insert also known as a threaded bushing developed by LGC industriesa P3G Group company. Intervis threaded sockets offer a practical solution for tapping and screwing by inserting directly into a pre-drilled hole. Thanks to their ability to cut their own thread, these inserts provide additional security and strength.

Intervis threaded inserts are recommended for aluminum assemblies, as their surface treatment eliminates the electrolytic torque between the two materials. Drilling groups serve as an average indication, and during installation, a drilling test at 1/10th above or below the indicated diameter is recommended to take into account the specific characteristics of certain materials.

Intervis® threaded bushes offer several advantages, including insertion without pre-tapping, elimination of clearance between spacer and workpiece, excellent pull-out resistance, 30% to 40% overlap to achieve maximum pull-out resistance, elimination of thread wear and absolute safety in use.

Gardette Industries offers a wide range of Intervis® threaded inserts in various materials such as Crude Steel (SCTA), Chromium 6-free Zinc-plated Casehardened Steel (SCT), Brass and Stainless Steel.

The different types of Intervis® inserts

Intervis standard threaded bush

The standard Intervis® threaded insert is inserted directly into a pre-drilled hole. It acts like a tap, creating its own thread in the hole, making it an ideal fastener for medium-hard materials such as light alloys, compressed wood or plastics. Installation is simple and efficient.

Intervis 3-hole threaded socket

For low-height Intervis® STHC threaded inserts, three holes have been added to the self-tapping sleeve to facilitate chip evacuation when tapping the assembly material.

In short, the 3-hole Intervis® SCTH threaded insert is a practical alternative to standard 1-slot Intervis® inserts when heights and thicknesses are reduced.
