E-Z LOK 400-4 Threaded Insert, Brass, Knife Thread, 1/4"-20 Internal Threads, 0.500" Length (Pack of 25)

Q: Do these fit alł or most beer tap faucets?

Careful! Although this is a 3/8-16 threaded insert it is a knife thread so it may not bite into the material. I tried using these in oak wood to use as a tap handle but it would not grab. I needed a coarser outside thread. These threads simply began to break off. I reverted to buying inserts from Lowes. I could not find a coarse outside threaded insert on Amazon.

Q: Hi what is the outside diameter of this product ?

I measured the diameter as 0.5945 inches (~19/32"). I ended up using a 9/16 drill to make the hole large enough to screw into a hard maple block with their insertion tool. As others have stated, using a 3/8-16 bolt/bushing combination will have more grip than the insertion tool.

Q: Tried a 1/2 drill bit for the 3/8"-16 internal insert and it was way too tight! i am drilling into cedar and bamboo laminated. what should i do?

The outside diameter of that insert is 19/32", so unless you can find a 33/64" drill bit, I recommend you taper ream the entry side of the insertion hole a small bit - with a hand taper reamer. Keep trying - in scrap wood - until you find a taper that allows the threads to get a bite in the wood. Also recommend that you apply wax or bar soap to the threads - and use an insertion tool.

Q: will these work in plywood?

Yes. Needless to say the wood has to be thick enough to support the height of the insert. These will work in any wood type (manufactured woods, hardwoods, softwoods, etc.) If you used in hardwoods with a high Janka rating (i.e, Purple Heart, Brazillian Cherry, Hard Maple, etc) it might more difficult to screw the insert in. I usually increase the hole size 'slightly'. Verify the right size of the hole in a piece of test material prior to doing it for the first time on your project.
