20x20mm metric ribbed M8 threaded tube inserts designed to push into square tube to act as a foot, with an outside or external dimension of 20mm square to suit a 1 to 2mm wall thickness. Unlike standard ribbed tube inserts used for finishing and capping off, these threaded / tapped inserts are used for screwing feet or castors into, giving you the option of height adjustment or mobility.

Across our range of threaded inserts. you have different options including all-plastic, plastic with metal threads or all-metal and there will also be variations including solid, folding, ribbed and plain sided options. Hopefully there will be something suitable for your application and please feel free to utilise our free of charge sample service - just look out for the request sample button you'll find on any product page, where a sampls is available.

Threaded inserts by their nature will be made from a harder material than normal tube inserts, as the inegrity of the thread needs to remain intact when coupled with a foot or castor and they're all designed to retain themselves inside tube, with the head sitting over the outer ends of the tube or pipe, sitting flush with the outside circumference of the tube and providing a neat finished appearance.

They often come in a variety of wall thicknesses and gauge sizes but if you're unsure on fit, you can click the 'Request Sample' button, or for help measuring your tube, try out this useful sizing pdf.
