How to Choose the Right Thread Size for Your Four-Pronged T Nut Application
In furniture production, woodworking, and panel assembly, four-pronged T nuts are widely used for creating secure and durable threaded connections. Choosing the right thread size is essential to ensure reliable fastening and smooth installation.
Common Thread Sizes for Four-Pronged T Nuts: M6 and M8
Among all thread sizes, M6 and M8 four-pronged T nuts are the most commonly used for standard furniture and light-duty structures:
- M6 thread is ideal for medium-load applications such as chairs, cabinets, and bed frames.
- M8 thread offers greater holding strength and is suitable for table legs, outdoor furniture, or structural panels.
At Xinchi Fasteners, we manufacture four-pronged T nuts in M4 to M10 thread sizes with full in-house production. Our factory is equipped with 102 cold heading machines and produces over 10 million pieces per day, ensuring stable quality and fast delivery.
How to Match the Mounting Hole to Your T Nut
To ensure that a four-pronged T nut installs correctly and stays secure, the pre-drilled hole must match the barrel diameter of the T nut:
- The hole should be slightly larger than the barrel diameter to allow easy insertion.
- The depth should fully accommodate the length of the barrel.
- The fit must not be too loose, or the nut may rotate or loosen during use.
Xinchi supports custom length and tooth height based on your board thickness, hardness, and structural needs, ensuring a tight and stable fit.
