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.
