Questions and Answers for Everbilt 1/4 in.-20 Zinc Plated Tee Nut (4-Pack)

A:  So much wrong info. The 5/16" is the size of the hole you drill so the cylinder part goes into the wood. And, as the title says, the bolt the fits it is a 1/4-20.

A:  1/4"

A:  Hi Duck6911, The answer is 1/4 in.

A:  The bolt to use is 1/4 in - 20 TPI The Tee Nut outside diameter is 5/16". This is the size hole to drill for the nut. The nut is designed to be hammered into the wood to set the prongs. I have found that you do not want to hammer too much, or risk bending the prongs. Once the prongs have a good grip, tightening the bolt will secure the nut in place.

A:  It must be 1/4. 5/16 is the height measurement in inches.

A:  I need to clear up my answer. The 5/16" is mainly the length of the threads in the cylinder. I would drill a 5/16" hole in hardwood like oak. 1/4" hole is OK in softwood.

A:  1/4" is the bolt diameter. 5/16" is the diameter of the "Tee" part of the nut.

A:  This product uses a 1/4" bolt.
