Value Collection TNUTI-100-100BX Tee Nut 10-24 Thread

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TNUTI-100-100BX is a standard tee nut designed for fastening applications that require a threaded insert anchored into wood, particleboard, or composite panels. Manufactured from zinc-plated steel, this tee nut accepts a 10-24 thread and features a 5/16 inch barrel length with a 3/4 inch flange diameter. Three prongs on the flange bite into the mating material to resist rotation during assembly. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. Carpenters, furniture assemblers, and general contractors use this style of fastener when a reusable, threaded connection point is needed in soft substrates.

This tee nut is suited for residential and light commercial woodworking, furniture manufacturing, and panel assembly where a through-hole threaded connection is required. It is pressed or driven from one face of the workpiece and engaged with a bolt or machine screw from the opposite face. Typical installations include cabinet hardware, knockdown furniture joints, and equipment housing panels where the flange remains recessed flush or just below the surface.

Key Features

• 10-24 thread size for compatibility with standard machine screws and bolts
• 5/16 inch barrel length sized for typical panel and board thicknesses
• 3/4 inch flange diameter provides bearing surface to resist pull-through
• Three prongs anchor the nut against rotation once driven into the substrate
• Zinc-plated steel construction offers corrosion resistance for indoor use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard tee nut insert for wood, particleboard, and composite panels requiring a 10-24 threaded connection point.

Installation Notes

A licensed carpenter or general tradesperson typically installs tee nuts using a drill press, arbor press, or mallet after boring a correctly sized through-hole in the workpiece. Power down any associated equipment before accessing the installation area. Ensure the prongs are fully seated flush with the flange face and that the barrel exits cleanly on the opposite side of the panel. Do not overdrive the nut, as this can crack the substrate or deform the flange.
