Boeing Style Press-Fit Inserts
As a composite press-fit insert, our Boeing-style inserts are designed and manufactured to fit Boeing floor panels. Also known as floor panel inserts, these composite fasteners are used throughout Boeing’s fleet of aircraft.
Press-fit inserts can be used anywhere a through hole fastener is desired. They are ideal for high load-carrying applications or where insert protrusion out of the panel is not a problem.

- The flanges of a press-fit insert are glued to the top and bottom skins of the honeycomb panel, in contrast to a potted-in insert which is flush.
