Forgefix 10PTN8 Pronged T Nuts Zp M8 Bag 10

Forgefix Pronged T Nuts are a simple and effective product offering bolting capability into various soft substrates. They are Zinc Plated for increased resistance to corrosion. APPLICATION:Used widely in the soft furnishing trades where strong timber connection is required. Also extensively used in Playground and Climbing Wall manufacturing. GUIDE:Use 6mm bolt with M6 and 8mm bolt with M8 T-Nuts. When installing the T-Nut tap home and the sharp fins pierce the substrate and fix the T-Nut firmly in place avoiding any rotation when tightening. The T-nuts can be used with many bolting products. A T-nut (also known as a Blind nut) is a type of nut used to fasten a wood particle or composite materials work piece leaving a flush surface. It has a long thin body and a flange at one end resembling a T in profile. The flanges of T-Nuts often have hooks or serrations on the prongs that sink into a wooden work piece providing better retention. Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish. It does this by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not trigger a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. The zinc oxide if left intact can act as a barrier to further oxidation in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminium and stainless steels by their oxide layers.
