 The A-L Series Insert features a knurled body and large diameter-low profile head making it ideal for use in punched or drilled holes. It offers the highest all around strength characteristics and has been designed to be used with Grade 5 or Metric 8.8/9.8 mating screws. The A-L Series is AVK's most versatile performer.
|
The A-L Series Insert can be installed using AVK's ARO brand pneumatic tools or AVK's SPP™ pneumatic/hydraulic tools. These tools can be located at any position on your assembly line. The A-L Series can be installed either before or after finish.

|
- Exceptional torque strength is achieved as the insert's knurled body expands filling the hole.
- Quality installations - Even invariable thickness materials are assured by AVK's spin/spin ARO pneumatic tools and our SPP pneumatic hydraulic tools.
- Superior thread strength is provided due to our internal rolled thread manufacturing process.
- Threads gauge - Thread dilation is prevented before and after installation due to the increased cross-sectional thickness of the threaded area.
- Inventory reduction is possible because of the A-L Series' wide grip range capacity. It is 2.5 times greater than conventional rivet nuts.
- Corrosion resistance is provided by our standard zinc/yellow dichromate finish (96 hrs. salt spray to white corrosion). For exceptional corrosion protection we offer a tin/zinc alloy finish.
- Available in steel from stock. Additional materials such as aluminum, brass and monel are available by special order. Contact AVK for details.

Various A-L Series Design Types
 |
OPEN END
The open end A-L Series is AVK's most versatile product. |
 |
CLOSED END
Thread area is enclosed eliminating leakage past the threads from either side of the application. |
 |
SEALED HEAD
A PVC foam seal is bonded to the underside of the head and when installed provides a weather tight seal. (Also available in the closed end version.) |
 |
WEDGE HEAD
The addition of wedges under the head provides even greater torque capability, especially in soft or thin materials, and is excellent for electrical grounding applications. |
