What Are Pronged T Nuts?

A Pronged T-nut (also known as a T-nut or tee nut) is a fastener commonly used in woodworking, furniture manufacturing, and other applications that require a strong threaded connection in wood or softer materials. As a professional t-nut manufacturer, XINCHI is glad to share a breakdown of its features.

Key Features of Pronged T-nuts:

Shape: Looks like a “T” from the side.

It consists of a flat flange (base) with a pointed head and a threaded barrel (nut).

Prongs: Flanges have several sharp prongs (usually 3 or 4) that go deep into the material to prevent the T-nut from rotating or being pulled out.

Threaded pipe: The central part of the T-nut is a barrel with internal threads that accepts machine screws or bolts.

Common Uses of Pronged T-nut:

Fasten your legs to furniture such as chairs and tables.

Fastening requires tightening bolts to parts in wood or other soft materials.

Used in gaming chairs, ergonomic chairs, or office furniture to secure a fixed base or frame.

Working Principle of T-nut:

Drill a hole in a material such as wood or particleboard.

The side of the T-nut is inserted towards the material.

When the bolt is tightened into the nut, the screw inserts the material to hold the T-nut in place.
