Our tube inserts give you the ability to build links with ease. Beveled ends, precision machining, and the correct amount of threads in relation to the diameter of the tube insert are all aspects that we implemented for your convenience. They come in left and right hand thread and many different styles.
When installing tube inserts, here are some tips to ensure a proper weld joint is made to provide a lasting link.
Clean the tubing you are using to bare shiny metal within ½” from where the weld will be using either a flap disc or grinding stone.
Grind a bevel into the end of the tube to match the tube insert. This allows for a better penetrating weld.
When welding, really try to spread the heat around as best as you can. Try to not focus heat in one area for an extended period of time.
We do not recommend to stick weld a tube insert. Mig and Tig welding are the only methods that we recommend.
When welding the insert, leave out your joint to avoid ruining the threads when you remove it after it cools. Threading the joint in while welding will not stop it from warping. It will still warp, and will seize the joint into the insert.
