Midwest Fasteners Zinc Plated Steel Pronged T-Nut Threaded Insert

Midwest Fasteners Zinc Plated Steel Pronged T-Nut Threaded Insert

The Midwest Fasteners Zinc Plated Steel Pronged T-Nut Threaded Insert is a family of threaded hardware built for anchoring bolts and machine screws into wood panels, furniture, and shop fixtures where a permanent threaded receptacle is needed on the back side of a workpiece. This line of pronged T-nuts is manufactured from steel with a zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance, and is available across seven thread and length combinations spanning 6-32 x 1/4, 8-32 x 1/4, 10-24 x 9/32, 10-24 x 7/16, 1/4-20 x 5/16, 1/4-20 x 7/16, and 1/4-20 x 9/16 to match common machine-screw and bolt pitches. The pronged flange on each size is designed to bite into the surrounding material as a mating bolt or screw is driven in, helping resist rotation once the T-nut is seated.

Key Features

• Available Sizes: Offered across seven thread and length combinations, from 6-32 x 1/4 up to 1/4-20 x 9/16, so the correct size can be matched to the mating bolt or screw and panel thickness.
• Material & Finish: Steel construction with a zinc plated finish for added corrosion resistance over bare steel in shop and jobsite environments.
• Pronged Design: Integrated prongs around the flange grip the surrounding material and help resist the T-nut spinning as a mating bolt or screw is tightened.
• Threaded Insert Function: Provides a reusable, permanent threaded connection point in wood and similar materials that would not otherwise hold a machine thread directly.
• Type: Pronged T-nut, configured for installation into pre-drilled holes in wood or similar substrates.
• Category: Classified as a specialty nut for assembly work where a standard nut cannot be accessed or held from behind the workpiece.

Technical Specifications

• Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete specifications.

Typical Applications

• Furniture assembly, where a threaded anchor point is needed in wood panels for knock-down hardware.
• Workshop jigs and fixtures requiring a reusable threaded connection in wood stock.
• Cabinet and shelving hardware installations.
• General woodworking projects that call for a machine-thread connection point in a non-metal substrate.
