MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 3775 T-Nut 3 Prongs #6-32 Steel Zinc 100 PK

Purpose and fit

These steel tee nuts install in soft wood to create a durable threaded anchor for #6-32 machine screws. They suit woodworkers, fixture builders and maintenance crews who need repeatable fastening points in low-density material. The three-prong base resists pull-out and rotation under load. A zinc coating adds corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.

Installation context

Each nut is driven into a pre-drilled hole so the prongs seat below the surface, leaving the internal threads flush with the workpiece. This frees the assembler from relying on wood threads that strip easily. The 100-piece pack supports batch assembly of jigs, knock-down furniture or equipment mounts without reordering. No adhesive or special tools are required beyond a hammer or press.

Upgrade path

The design replaces wood screws, threaded inserts and improvised brackets that loosen over time. The jump is worth it when a joint must be assembled and disassembled repeatedly or when the mating part carries vibration. It is not suited for hardwoods that resist prong penetration, for metric-thread requirements, or for structural loads that demand a larger thread diameter.
