Thread Types of T-nuts

T-nuts, also known as tee nuts or blind nuts, come in different thread types to accommodate various applications and materials. As a trusted T-nut manufacturer in China, Xinchi Fastener Company is glad to share relevant knowledge, hoping to be helpful.

The three main thread types for T-nuts are:

Unified Thread (UNC/UNF): The Unified Thread is one of the most common thread types used for T-nuts. The two standard variants are Unified National Coarse (UNC) and Unified National Fine (UNF). UNC threads have a coarse pitch and are often used for general applications, while UNF threads have a finer pitch and are suitable for more precise and higher-strength applications.

Metric Thread: T-nuts with metric threads are prevalent in regions that primarily use the metric system. Metric threads come in various pitches, such as coarse, fine, and extra-fine, to suit different requirements.

Whitworth Thread: The Whitworth thread system, also known as British Standard Whitworth (BSW), is less common but still used in some regions, especially for older machinery and equipment. It is distinguished by its rounded peaks and valleys.

When selecting T-nuts for a specific project, it’s crucial to match the thread type of the T-nut with the corresponding bolt or screw you plan to use. This ensures a proper fit and secure connection. It’s also essential to consider the material and thickness of the base material (wood, metal, or another material) to choose the appropriate T-nut with the right thread type and size.
