Perma-Kee

KATO Perma-Kee® inserts are solid, one piece, kee-locking inserts used to repair stripped or damaged threads in all types of metals and applications. When installed, locking-kees are driven into the surrounding parent material, locking the insert into place and keeping it from rotating due to vibration or torsion. No special taps are needed.

Perma-Kee inserts are available in carbon or stainless steel, both inch and metric series, and a variety of wall thickness – thinwall, heavy duty, extra heavy duty and solid styles.

Perma-Kee inserts are sold in bulk quantities. Installation tools sold separately.
