Use of Helicoils with API6A Kit? 1

[NorrieK]

Has anyone come across a situation where a tapped hole is on the wrong PCD and the use of a helicoil (eccentric external / internal thread) could correct this? The problem I have is with the API 6A monogram requirement on this job. Will this make the monogram invalid??

Help much appreciated.

You and I appear to be the only ones here who deal with API 6A.

Your question: I have never found anything where 6A addressed this. I have installed helicoils in valves but I can't remember if they were monogramed. Your abbv. PCD - what does that mean - pressure containing device?

My best guess would be if the customer would accept it- then it would be ok. Everything I have researched - helicoils would be safe fix for your valve.
