What is a threaded socket?

To carry out repairs or to make threads in non-threadable materials, threaded sockets are essential. Soft materials such as light alloys, plastics, and compressed wood often have taps that are vulnerable to repeated stress. In case of excessive or frequent tightening, the threads may tear, making the part unusable later.

Self-tapping sockets are particularly useful in this context. By creating their own thread during assembly, our Intervis sockets thus establish a robust anchoring with the material, thus avoiding the need to pre-drill, unlike other threaded inserts. This method provides increased resistance to pulling during loosening.

A threaded socket consists of a standardized thread and a suitable external thread, including an external thread truncation and two slots at the cutting edges.

Using this set, the socket can be screwed directly into a smooth, pre-drilled hole, similar to using a tap.

The advantages of an Intervis® threaded insert

Gardette Industries offers the brand Intervis®, an innovative threaded insert also known as a threaded threaded socket developed by LGC Industries, a P3G group company. Intervis threaded sockets offer a practical solution for tapping and screwing by inserting directly into a previously drilled hole. Thanks to their ability to cut their own thread, these inserts ensure additional safety and strength.

It is recommended to use Intervis threaded inserts in aluminum assemblies, as their surface treatment eliminates the electrolytic couple between the two materials. The drilling groups serve as an average indicator, and during installation, a drilling test 1/10th above or below the indicated diameter is recommended to take into account the specific characteristics of certain materials.

Intervis® threaded sockets offer several advantages, including insertion without pre-tapping, the elimination of the gap between the spacer and the part, excellent pull-out resistance, a 30% to 40% coverage to achieve maximum pull-out resistance, the suppression of tapping wear and absolute safety of use.

At Gardette Industries, various ranges of Intervis® threaded inserts are available, made of various materials such as Crude Steel (SCTA), Zinc-plated Steel without chrome 6 (SCT), Brass or Stainless Steel.

The different types of Intervis® inserts

Intervis standard threaded socket

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

Intervis 3-hole threaded socket

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

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