Frequently Asked Questions

How many types of Recoil inserts are available?

  • Free running inserts to provide a standard female thread
  • Locking inserts to lock the female thread when fasteners are installed

How to install Recoil inserts?

  • Drill the damaged thread with the drill size specified on the kit (if necessary).
  • Check that the thread on the tap matches the thread on the bolt.
  • Insert the tap into the tap wrench or use the square drive in the installation tool (if provided).
  • Tap the hole to the required depth.
  • Position the insert on the installation tool, with the adjustable top positioned so that the insert tang is centred in the tang slot.
  • The wind enters with light downward pressure until it is 1/4 to 1/2 turn below the surface.
  • Do not use a tool to twist the tang off. Lift the tool from the tang, turn it 90 degrees and tap down hard.
