How Do 4 Prong T Nut Work?

A 4-prong T-nut is a type of fastener used in woodworking and metalworking to create a strong, secure connection between two pieces of material. As the biggest t-nut factory in China, Xinchi  Fastener Company is glad to introduce how it typically works.

Insertion: The T-nut has a body with four prongs or claws that extend from the base. The body also has a threaded hole in the center. To use a 4-prong T-nut, you insert it into a pre-drilled hole in the material, with the prongs facing outward.

Embedding Prongs: Once the T-nut is inserted, you use a tool or hammer to tap the prongs into the material. The prongs are designed to embed themselves into the material, creating a secure and stable connection.

Threaded Hole: The threaded hole in the center of the T-nut allows you to attach a bolt or screw. As you tighten the bolt or screw into the threaded hole, it pulls the T-nut against the material, providing a strong and tight joint.

Usage: 4-prong T-nuts are commonly used in applications where a threaded insert is needed for joining two pieces of material together. They are often used in furniture assembly, cabinetry, and other woodworking or metalworking projects.

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of a 4-prong T-nut depends on the material it’s being inserted into and the force applied during installation. Additionally, there are variations in design, so it’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation.
