- Tee 4 Prong nuts feature a head style that digs into the surface to ensure retention and leaves the nut flush with the surface, and are commonly used in furniture to provide an internally threaded surface for fasteners. Tee nuts can be used in materials like wood, composites, and particle board
- Installing a T nut is a simple process. First, a drill bit that is just wider than the diameter of the barrel of the blind nut is used to drill a hole in the soft material. Next, the nut can be either pushed or lightly tapped with a hammer, so the prongs begin to dig into the material. Then, feed the bolt through the other side and thread it into the t nut. Finally, tighten the bolt. As the bolt is being tightened, the nut will be pulled into the soft material until flush against the material surface
- Also known as: T Nuts, Blind Nuts, Pronged Tee Nuts
- Material / Coating: Stainless Steel A2-70 G304 is the most popular grade of stainless steel. It is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and very practical because of its excellent corrosion protection in most environments. Most products can be identified by the following markings: A2, A2-70, 304 or G304 but not all nuts are stamped. Stainless steels are largely non-magnetic but it is common for some stainless steel fasteners to show a small degree of magnetism which is a result of work-hardening during the manufacturing process
- Can Stainless corrode?: Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant but not corrosion-proof and corrosion can occur if the material is installed or handled incorrectly. The use of tools and drills made from conventional steel during the installation of stainless steel fasteners may also lead to problems. Even the hardest of tools can produce debris that leaves minute steel particles on the stainless steel fastener surfaces or in pre-drilled holes. It is these particles that often rust when exposed to moisture or oxygen and can result in a stained or tarnished finish to the stainless steel material
- Galling: can occur when excessive pressure is used to tighten a nut onto a thread, common with stainless fasteners but can also be an issue with other materials. Fasteners with damaged or fine threads are particularly prone to galling.
Some suggestions to help prevent thread galling:
Tightening the nut more slowly without excessive pressure, will frequently reduce or sometimes solve completely, the problem. As the installation RPM speed increases, the heat generated with friction during tightening escalates the chances of thread galling.
Reduce the friction by applying a suitable lubricant to the thread frequently eliminates thread galling. Typical lubricants are chloride-paraffine, molykoat lacquer, molybdenum disulphide, high pressure oil, graphite, mica, or talc, some assemblies where there is extreme pressure, corrosion resistant grease or waxes may also be effective - What does TPI stand for?: TPI stands for “threads per inch” which literally means the number of threads within each inch on a nut, a bolt, or a fastener. To determine the TPI of a nut, either count the number of threads contained within an inch of length on the male fastener or use a thread checker. If the male fastener is less than an inch, measure 1/2", count how many there are then multiply the number by 2
- Difference between UNC v BSW Threads: UNC and BSW have the same thread per inch value, except for the 1/2" size. Theoretical it would be possible to interchange them as they have the same amount of threads per inch. However due to the difference in thread angle, the connection would not be as strong as when using the proper combinations
- Difference between UNC v BSW Threads: UNC and BSW have the same thread per inch value, except for the 1/2" size. Theoretical it would be possible to interchange them as they have the same amount of threads per inch. However due to the difference in thread angle, the connection would not be as strong as when using the proper combinations
