Tee Nut 4 Prong， In Chinese, it is commonly referred to as a four jaw T-shaped nut or a four pointed foot T-shaped nut, which is an embedded fastener designed specifically for weakly threaded load-bearing materials. Its name comes from two core features: one is that the side profile is in the shape of a "T", consisting of a cylindrical barrel with threads at the top and a flat flange at the bottom; The second is that the bottom flange edge is evenly distributed with four sharp claw like protrusions (i.e. 4 Prong), which is also the key identifier that distinguishes it from the three claw T-shaped nut.

The Tee Nut 4 Prong mainly consists of three parts:

Top threaded barrel body: the core load-bearing component, with standard internal threads (such as metric M4-M12, imperial 5/16 "-18, etc.) processed inside, used for precise matching with bolts and screws, transmitting fastening force;

Central flat flange: It is disc-shaped, which on the one hand limits the depth of the nut embedded in the material to ensure accurate installation positioning, and on the other hand increases the stress area to avoid damaging the material surface during tightening;

Bottom four claw structure: Four evenly distributed sharp protrusions are the anchoring core components. During installation, it opens outward under pressure and is embedded inside the material, forming a firm mechanical bite to prevent the nut from rotating or loosening.

Application: 

Tee Nuts are mainly used in materials such as wood, plastic, and thin metal that cannot directly withstand the strength of threaded connections, to construct stable internal threaded connection points. Anchoring is achieved by embedding four claws into the material, and the two components are fastened together with bolts or screws. At the same time, the connection part can be concealed to ensure a clean appearance.

Core advantages of furniture tee nut:

Ultra high stability and anti rotation: The design with four evenly distributed claws increases the bite point compared to three claws, which can be more tightly embedded into the material, greatly improving the anti rotation ability. Even in vibration environments, it can maintain stable connection and is suitable for heavy-duty or high-precision fastening scenarios;

Easy and efficient installation: No special tools are required, just pre drill the hole diameter with a drill bit, align the nut with the hole position, and use a hammer or mallet to tap the flange surface to open the four claws and embed the material for fixation, without the need for additional locking components.

Wide material adaptability: compatible with various materials such as cork, hardwood, particleboard, plastic, thin metal plate, etc., especially suitable for constructing threaded connections on materials that cannot be directly tapped, and can reduce material splitting damage;

Strong durability: The main body is mostly made of high-quality carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel (such as A2-70, A4-80 grades), which has excellent tensile strength and wear resistance; The surface is often treated with galvanizing (blue zinc, white zinc, yellow zinc) to enhance corrosion resistance (corrosion resistance, rust prevention ability), which can adapt to humid or slightly corrosive environments and extend the service life;

Repeatability of disassembly and assembly: It can be disassembled and reinstalled multiple times without damaging the material and nut itself, and still maintain a stable fastening effect, making it easy for later maintenance and component replacement;

Appearance Cleanliness: The embedded installation method hides the threaded connection part inside the material, with no exposed hardware on the outside, which can maintain the neat and beautiful appearance of the product, especially suitable for scenarios such as furniture and decoration that require appearance.
