Tee Nuts - Metric

M10 x 13mm Barrel - 4-Prong Tee Nut - BZP - Pack of 25

A tee nut is a nut that has 3 or 4 prongs cast onto a flange on the top of the nut to enable it to be set into wood to give a flush finish to the fastener.

The wood is pre-drilled to the size of the main body of the pronged tee nut and the nut is set into the hole. To obtain the flush finish, you can either hammer the tee nut down into position, or insert a bolt or stud into the tee nut and tighten a nut and washer on the opposing side of the timber, pulling the prongs of the tee nut down into the timber to give the flush finish. Our range consists of multiple metric options ranging from M4 to M10 tee nuts.

Metric is the most common thread type in production today. Usually specified as M then a number x another number. This signifies the thread diameter and the length of the fastener.

For example, M4 x 30 means that the major thread diameter (the external distance across the outside of the thread) is 4mm and the length is 30mm. Length is usually measured from the underside of the fastener head.
