Available in lengths of 15mm and 18mm, these inserts have M6 internal threads. Triple start threads mean these inserts stay aligned when driven and provide a faster feed rate.
Typical pre-drill is 10mm to 10.5mm (about 13/32"). Insert collar is 12mm, giving an overlap of about 1mm around the drilled hole for a good seal and clean appearance.
Zinc-plated steel. Driven with a 6mm hex driver. Priced per insert.

Pre-drill a hole 10mm to 10.5mm, then drive the insert in with a 6mm hex driver until the 12mm collar seats flush against the surface.

A pre-drill of 10mm to 10.5mm, or about 13/32", is typical for these M6 inserts.
