For Australian furniture manufacturers, joiners, and trade users assembling timber and panel products, tee nuts provide stronger fastening than screwing directly into timber, and allow the assembly to be disassembled and reassembled without thread damage.

The flange sits flat against the timber. Hammer blows on the flange drive the prongs into the timber, locking the nut in place. A bolt or screw threaded into the nut from the opposite side now has a metal thread to engage in the timber. The result is significantly stronger pull-out resistance than screwing directly into timber, with the ability to remove and refit the bolt many times without damaging the thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere tee nuts earn their place\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFurniture assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e — panel-to-panel connections in flat-pack furniture, knock-down assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJoinery\u003c\/strong\u003e — solid timber connections where threaded fasteners need to engage timber substrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet making\u003c\/strong\u003e — adjustable shelf supports, drawer slide mounts, hardware attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClimbing wall and rope course construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — timber structures requiring strong removable bolt fastenings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker cabinets and audio equipment\u003c\/strong\u003e — driver mounting and chassis assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral timber projects\u003c\/strong\u003e — anywhere a removable bolt connection is needed in timber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials and finishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZinc-plated steel\u003c\/strong\u003e — the everyday workshop choice for indoor assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrass\u003c\/strong\u003e — for non-magnetic and decorative applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStainless steel 304 and 316\u003c\/strong\u003e — for corrosive, marine, and food-grade applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTee nuts are sized by the bolt thread they accept.

For pronged tee nuts, position the nut on the back side of the timber with prongs facing the timber, hammer blows on the flange drive the prongs home. For screw-in tee nuts, drill the appropriate pilot hole and screw the nut in using a hex bit or matching driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBrands stocked at AIMS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobson and Bremick cover the tee nut range across the standard sizes, materials, and finishes.
