Midwest Fasteners Zinc Plated Steel Brad Hole T Nut Specialty Threaded Insert

Midwest Fasteners Zinc Plated Steel Brad Hole T Nut Specialty Threaded Insert

The Midwest Fasteners Zinc Plated Steel Brad Hole T Nut is a specialty threaded insert designed to be driven and anchored into wood or composite panels, giving you a permanent, reusable threaded connection point. This family spans a range of nut sizes — 1/4-20 x 5/16, 3/8-16 x 7/16, 5/16-18 x 5/8, 10-32 x 5/16, and 10-24 x 5/16 — so you can match the thread and shank length to the bolt or machine screw and panel thickness required for the job. Built from steel with a zinc finish for corrosion resistance, each size in the lineup carries the characteristic flanged base with brad prongs that bite into the substrate to resist rotation once seated, making it a reliable alternative to a loose nut on the back side of a through-hole.

Key Features

• Nut Size Range: Available in 1/4-20 x 5/16, 3/8-16 x 7/16, 5/16-18 x 5/8, 10-32 x 5/16, and 10-24 x 5/16 to mate with the corresponding bolt or machine screw thread.
• Material & Finish: Steel construction with a zinc finish for added corrosion resistance and a clean, consistent appearance across the size range.
• Type: Brad hole T nut, a specialty threaded insert style that seats flush with the surface it is driven into.
• Function: Provides a durable, reusable threaded connection point in wood or similar panel materials, eliminating the need for a separate nut on the back side of a through-hole.
• Brad Prong Base: Flanged base with brad prongs that bite into the substrate to resist rotation once seated, keeping the insert anchored under repeated bolt cycling.
