Types of T Nuts
T nuts, also called tee nuts or T-nuts, are specialized nuts designed to provide a strong, reliable threaded connection in wood, composite materials, or soft metals. They are commonly used in woodworking and furniture assembly.
As one of the leading T-nut suppliers, XINCHI Fastener Co., LTD is glad to share the main types of T nuts.
Four-Pronged T Nuts:
Description: These 4 prons t nuts have four prongs on the flange that dig into the material to hold the nut in place.
Use: Ideal for wood and softer materials where a strong grip is needed.
Three-Pronged T Nuts:
Description: Similar to the four-pronged version but with three prongs.
Use: Used in situations where a smaller insertion force is required, or the material is too delicate for four prongs.
Flange T Nuts:
Description: Feature a flat flange with holes for screws or bolts, rather than prongs.
Use: Commonly used in metalworking or with harder materials where prongs would not penetrate effectively.
Blind T Nuts:
Description: These have a closed-end, preventing the bolt or screw from going through the nut.
Use: Useful for applications where the backside of the material should not be exposed to the bolt or screw.
Rivet T Nuts:
Description: They have a cylindrical body with a flange at one end, and are installed using a rivet tool.
Use: Ideal for thin materials where traditional prongs or flanges cannot be used.
Propeller T Nuts:
Description: Feature prongs that look like propeller blades, providing additional holding power.
Use: Often used in high-stress applications where a strong, secure connection is necessary.
Stamped T Nuts:
Description: Made from stamped sheet metal, these are typically less expensive and used in light-duty applications.
Use: Suitable for general-purpose applications in woodworking and light assembly.
Slab Base T Nuts:
Description: Have a broad, flat base without prongs.
Use: Typically used in applications where the nut needs to be flush with the surface of the material.
Each type of T nut is designed for specific applications and materials, providing a variety of options for different engineering and construction needs.
