INSERTS INTRODUCTION INSERTS The first section of the Handbook contains products intended for installation into metals (Section Two products are to be installed into plastic). The inserts are designed using the insert principle, which uses a pin to expand a grooved section of the insert's body into the housing wall to effect a seal and retain the component. The pin, which has been pre-installed, is driven into the body. Using friction and penetration, the lands bite into the housing material. The Lee Company does not recommend the use of coatings or surface treatments in the area of the...

INSERT CHECK VALVES The IMH Chek™ is a threadless, cartridge-style insert designed for simple, low cost installation into manifolds, and is based on the same hard seat Lee Chek® designs used in flight control systems of almost every aircraft flying today. A robust design and 100% testing ensures consistent, longterm performance up to 28 MPa (4060 psid) and 149°C (300°F) or higher depending on specific application requirements. A high quality metal to metal seat limits leakage in the checked direction to no more than 20 sccm of air at 172 kPa (25 psi) differential. The valves are compatible...
