Abstract
A thread insert comprises an externally threaded housing with an internally threaded floating nut therein. Diametrically spaced ears on the nut are engaged in diametrically spaced grooves in the housing, respectively, to limit relative rotation between the nut and the housing yet permit radial movement of the nut relative to the housing. A single split ring locks the nut into the housing.
