T-Nuts for Soft Wood Mounting
These tee nuts provide a stronger mounting surface for screws or bolts in soft wood. The pack contains 100 pieces suited for repeated workshop or assembly use. They are designed for #10-32 threads and feature three prongs for secure embedding. New condition ensures clean threads and consistent finish.
Steel Construction with Zinc Plating
The carbon steel body resists deformation when driven into soft wood. Zinc plating adds a layer of corrosion protection for indoor or sheltered applications. No moving parts means silent operation and no power draw. The simple hardware design requires no thermal management.
Bulk Pack for Project Efficiency
The 100-count box keeps inventory stocked for furniture builds, jigs or repair work. Each nut accepts standard #10-32 machine screws or bolts. No specialised tools are needed beyond a hammer or press for installation. The prong design locks into wood grain to resist rotation under load.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 3-prong T-nut and what step is often missed?
Drill a hole matching the barrel diameter, insert the nut prongs-down into the wood, then tap it flush with a hammer so all three prongs seat fully — skipping the hammer step leaves the nut loose.
Will the zinc-plated steel nuts need replacement or maintenance over time?
The zinc plating resists corrosion in normal indoor use; no routine maintenance is required, and the nuts only need replacement if the threads strip or the prongs bend during removal.
What limit appears first when the joint is under sustained load?
The holding power is limited by the wood fibres around the three prongs — soft wood will crush or split before the #10-32 steel threads or the zinc coating yield.
