VÖLKEL Thread Repair Kits, 5 x 0,8 - 1,5D, with STI machine

Features and applications

This thread repair kit for restoring a damaged internal thread with wire thread inserts is for M 5 x 0.8. Use it when the existing internal thread is damaged and the original screw connection should be restored with a controlled insert repair.

Metric thread selection is based on nominal diameter and pitch, so both values must match the screw connection or drawing. The kit should be selected by the component thread, available wall thickness, and the required installation workflow. Use the drawing, the existing component, and the required repair workflow as the selection reference.

Applications

• repairing damaged internal M 5 x 0.8 threads with the V-COIL repair process
• workshop and maintenance repairs where the original screw size should remain usable
• component repair in housings, covers, brackets, flanges, and similar metal parts
• selection by thread size, insert length, included tools, and required inspection method

Benefits

• kit structure keeps the repair workflow connected to M 5 x 0.8
• coordinated preparation, STI tapping, insertion, and checking steps reduce the risk of mixing tools from different sizes
• insert repair can retain the original screw size when the component condition allows controlled preparation

Application limits

• A repair kit only works when the damaged component can be prepared correctly; replace the component or use a different repair method if alignment or remaining wall strength is not sufficient.

Step by step

1. Identify the damaged thread and confirm that the kit is the correct repair size for M 5 x 0.8.
2. Secure the component so the preparation tool can follow the original thread axis.
3. Prepare the damaged hole with the drilling or cleaning step required by the kit workflow.
4. Cut the STI receiving thread with the included or specified repair tap.
5. Clean the hole and remove chips before the insert is installed.
6. Install the wire thread insert with the correct inserting tool until the seating position is reached.
7. Remove the tang where the selected insert system requires that step.
8. Check the repaired thread with the mating screw or inspection method used in your process.
