What are Square Tube Plastic Inserts?

These square tube plastic inserts are sturdy plastic components with a moulded-in thread, specifically designed for attaching elements like levelling feet, castors, bolts, and other fasteners to square sections.

Made from premium-grade glass reinforced plastic materials with a nickel-plated insert, these inserts are meticulously engineered to perfectly fit square tubes of varying wall thicknesses and cross sections, ensuring a precise and dependable connection.

In essence, square tube plastic inserts offer lasting quality while providing an economical solution for securely fastening components onto square box sections.

Selecting and Fitting a Tube Insert

When it comes to the selection and installation of tube inserts, accuracy is paramount to achieve a secure fit and proper function. Here's a practical step-by-step guide to assist you:

1. Outside Diameter (OD):

Measure the distance between the outer edges of your application to find the Outside Diameter (OD) of the tube. This measurement is critical for achieving a precise fit.

2. Internal Diameter (ID):

Similarly, measure the distance between the inner edges of the tube to determine the Internal Diameter (ID). This measurement is taken from the inner lips.

3. Wall Thickness (WT):

Once you have the OD and ID measurements, calculate the Wall Thickness (WT) range required for a secure fit. Use the formula: (OD - ID ÷ 2 = Wall Thickness). This measurement ensures a snug fit.

WDS tube inserts are designed for easy installation – a simple tap by hand or with a hammer is sufficient to ensure a tight fit.

By accurately following these steps, you can confidently select and install tube inserts that provide a secure attachment and proper functionality.
