Installation

1. Prepare the fixing position: Mark the threaded insert installation position in the wood. Check the wood thickness and the position of the component to be attached. The recommended wood thickness is at least 20 mm.

2. Drill the hole: Drill a hole of the appropriate diameter and depth according to the threaded insert dimensions and wood type. Follow the insert manufacturer's installation requirements when selecting the hole dimensions.

3. Install the threaded insert: Carefully screw the metal threaded insert into the prepared hole using a suitable hexagonal tool. Ensure that the insert is firmly seated without damaging the wood or the internal M6 thread.

4. Attach the component: Position the component against the wood, insert the M6×20 mm stainless steel bolt with the washer and screw it into the threaded insert. Make sure the bolt length is suitable for the thickness of the component being attached.

5. Check the connection: Verify that the attached component is stable and properly secured. Avoid overtightening the bolt to prevent damage to the internal thread or weakening the insert's grip in the wood.

Important: The supplied bolt is manufactured from stainless steel, but the corrosion resistance grades of the threaded insert and washer have not been specified. Therefore, the entire kit should not be considered a stainless steel fastening system. Before installation, assess the wood type, thickness, condition, expected loads and environmental conditions. The recommended 20 mm wood thickness does not represent a certified load-bearing capacity.
