Product Identity

This MIDWEST FASTENER 60895 T-Nut features a 1/4"-20 thread and zinc-plated steel construction with a 5/16 inch barrel height. It is designed to create strong load-bearing threads in soft wood where standard screws would strip. The fastener suits woodworkers, furniture builders and repair technicians needing reliable blind-side anchoring.

Suitability

Buyers who need a flush-mount nut for sheet metal or plastic should look elsewhere because the prong design requires wood penetration. Projects demanding stainless steel for outdoor corrosion resistance or metric threads for machinery will not match this imperial zinc-plated part. High-volume automated assembly lines may prefer collated feed formats not offered here.

Deciding Specification

The 1/4"-20 thread pitch determines whether this nut matches your bolts or machine screws. Verify the barrel height clears your material thickness before ordering. The 60895 model number confirms the exact variant when reordering or specifying in bills of materials.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 1/4"-20 thread or a different size for my project?

Choose the 1/4"-20 thread when your bolt or machine screw matches that diameter and pitch; the 5/16 in barrel height suits standard material thicknesses.

What does the 5/16 in barrel height mean once the nut is installed?

The 5/16 in barrel seats into a pre-drilled hole, giving the prongs enough depth to grip soft wood securely while keeping the flange flush.

Does the zinc-plated steel finish meet a specific corrosion standard for outdoor use?

The zinc plating provides general corrosion resistance for indoor and mild outdoor exposure; no ASTM or ISO standard is referenced for this fastener.
