Split-Resistant Tee Nut Inserts for Hardwood
Fewer prongs than other tee nut inserts reduce the risk of splitting hardwood—these inserts have three short prongs. Hammer them into a drilled hole to install. Installed length includes the flange.
Zinc-plated steel inserts are mildly corrosion resistant in wet environments.

Steel Round-Base Weld Nuts
A smooth base provides more contact with the mating surface than weld nuts with projections. The base also acts as a flange to distribute the load. A long barrel ensures secure thread engagement.

Mil. Spec. Rivet-Mount Nuts
Create threads in hard-to-work areas—where you can’t reach the back of a workpiece, or material is too thin to be tapped. For a strong grip, these nuts have distorted threads that increase friction with bolts. Because they mount with two rivets, they won’t spin when you’re tightening screws. However, these nuts do move inside their retainers, which lets you install bolts at a slight angle; use them to align with off-center parts. All meet military guidelines for dimensions and material.
Cadmium-plated nuts resist corrosion in industrial and saltwater environments, although will lose their corrosion resistance over 450° F. The cadmium plating also adds lubricity, making these nuts easy to install.
A286 stainless steel nuts are corrosion resistant. Silver-plated stainless steel nuts withstand temperatures up to 800° F. The silver plating also adds lubricity and prevents seizing caused by friction between nuts and bolts.
Lubricated nuts thread onto bolts smoothly.
