Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an insert and system of installing the same. The insert includes a tapered core and a cylinder. The core releasably secures to an installation device which includes a depth stop or a depth control to control the installation depth of the insert. The insert may be provided in a tray that allows for easier handling of the inserts and installation thereof in installation holes, for example in a hydraulic manifold. In some cases, the core includes a threaded hole to releasably secure the insert to the installation device, thus allowing the installation device to pull the core into the cylinder. The core and cylinder may be made of metallic materials such as steels, steel alloys and others. In some cases the insert can withstand blow out pressures of 40,000 psi or higher.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of sealing a hole comprising the steps of:\n providing a male threaded device; providing an insert, the insert comprising: a core having a height and a tapered outer wall; a threaded hole located in a first end of said core, a depth of said threaded hole less than the height; a cylindrical metallic sleeve having a second height and a through hole defining an inner diameter wherein said cylindrical metallic sleeve is in contact with and surrounds at least part of said core; a second end of said core having an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter; said first end of said core is press fit into and in contact with said cylindrical metallic sleeve prior to engagement of the male threaded device with said threaded hole; providing a block having an outer surface with the hole therein; threading the male threaded device into said threaded hole; inserting the insert into the hole core end first prior to retraction of the core into the cylindrical metallic sleeve; retracting the core into the cylindrical metallic sleeve by pulling on the male threaded device to expand the cylindrical metallic sleeve against the hole to seal the hole.
