Special Notes:
  • The Military Standard (MS) drawings covering Unified size Tanged inserts have been superseded by National Aerospace Standard drawings (NAS) with an "M" suffix designating that it was previously a military drawing.  Following are the affected standards:

NASM122076-122115, NASM122116-122155, NASM122156-122195, NASM122196-122235, NASM122236-122275, NASM124651-124690, NASM124691-124730, NASM124731-124770, NASM124771-124810, NASM124811-124850, NASM21209,  and NASM8846.

  • Specification MS33537 covering installation dimensions has now been superseded by  NASM33537 standard.
     
  • *MS21208 has for some time been superseded by MS122076 & MS124651 series.  Although CoilThread inserts conform to MS21208 all documentation and certification denotes the current standards (NASM122076 & NASM124651 series)  and not MS21208 for particular part numbers.  MS21208 is only referenced in the Certificate of Compliance (C of C).
     
  • Sound confusing? It isn't really.  For Example: Specification MS21209 is now NASM21209, and MS122076-MS122115 is now NASM122076-NASM122115.
    The good news is that the individual part numbers on the new NASM drawings did not change. They still carry the MS prefix.  For Example: MS21209-C0415 remains unchanged, and MS122076 remains MS122076.
    If you have any questions please contact the KATO Tech-Group for clarification.
