What are the specifications of the APPROVED VENDOR key locking insert?

This thin-wall steel insert has 4 keys, M12x1.75 internal thread, M16x1.5 external thread, C1215 material grade, zinc phosphate finish, 2A external thread fit, and 2B internal thread fit. It requires a 13-1/2 mm drill bit and M16x1.5 tap. Supplied in a 10-pack, MPN 215-065956.
