T-Nuts For Wood

Tee nuts or T-nuts are used for fastening wooden or composite material workpieces, leaving a flush surface. They are also known as blind nuts, insert nuts, rivet nuts or drive-in nuts.

Features

  • Tee nuts have a long body and a flange on one end, resembling a T shape.
  • When the bolt is threaded into the nut, these flanges act as hooks and draw the material into them.
  • The nuts need a pre-drilled hole for use and can be serrated to offer a strong grip.
  • To increase the strength and retention of the joint, the flange of these tee nuts often incorporates hooks that cling to the material being connected.
  • They feature prongs on one side of the flange to lock automatically into the workpiece for added safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should be the size of the hole drilled for a T-nut?

  • Generally, a 5/16-inch bit is used for a 1/4-inch T-nut.
  • The hole should be slightly larger than the shank.

How far apart should T-nuts be placed?

  • T-nuts should be located such that they miss the framing studs.
  • Place T-nuts about 8 inches apart on the first row and offset that pattern by 4 inches on the following line.

What is a pronged tee nut?

Pronged tee nuts are used as wood fasteners to receive a machine thread. These tee nuts are driven and secured into a pre-drilled hole.

Where are screw-locking tee nuts used?

These nuts are used where vibration is a serious concern.

How to install a tee nut?

  • Mark T-nut locations.
  • Drill T-nut holes by placing two plywood sheets together. The sheets should be facing up while drilling the holes.
  • From the side opposite to where the holes are drilled, attach the T-nuts.
  • Use a hammer to properly seat the nuts. Make sure that they are flush with the plywood surface.

How to fix spinning T-nuts?

  • The threaded rod should be inserted into the drill and securely clamped using the chuck.
  • When the threads catch, spin the threaded rod until it is inserted through the T-nut hole.
  • Set your drill to a low speed.
  • Simply reverse the drill to remove the threaded rod after tightening the T-nut against the panel's back until it is secure. This technique is effective for replacing a spinning T-nut or tightening a T-nut that has become loose.
