Tee nuts for soft wood mounting
These 100-piece tee nuts are designed for soft wood applications where a stronger mounting surface is required for screws or bolts. The three-prong design helps secure the nut firmly in the material during installation. They are suited for woodworkers and assemblers building furniture, fixtures or jigs that need reliable threaded inserts. Buyers needing metric threads or stainless steel will need a different product.
5/16"-18 thread with three prongs
The critical specification is the 5/16"-18 thread size, which determines compatibility with your bolts or machine screws. Each nut features three prongs that grip the wood fibres to resist rotation and pull-out under load. The zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance for indoor or dry environments. Verify your fastener diameter and thread pitch match exactly before ordering.
Steel zinc plated hardware performance
The zinc plating protects the steel from oxidation during normal shop and indoor use. Installation requires only a drilled hole and a hammer or press to seat the prongs flush with the surface. No moving parts, fans or electrical connections are involved, so there is no noise, heat or power draw to consider. The pack contains one hundred pieces for batch production or shop stock.

Questions about this item
What does the 5/16"-18 thread size mean when I install these T-nuts?
The 5/16"-18 thread accepts a matching bolt with 18 threads per inch, giving a secure hold in soft wood once the prongs grip the material.
How does the zinc plating affect the T-nut's use in a project?
Zinc plating adds corrosion resistance so the steel nut holds up in damp or outdoor conditions without rust weakening the threads.
What do I need to prepare in the wood for these three-prong T-nuts to seat properly?
Drill a clearance hole for the barrel, then hammer the nut in so the three prongs dig into the wood fibres and lock the nut in place.
