Special M10 "PROFESSIONAL" galvanized insert nut
NEW! Special "PROFESSIONAL" insert nut with option
M10 flange nuts for fastening with chipboard screws
To meet the high and stringent safety requirements for this important connecting element, our T-nut is tested according to DIN EN 12572-2-2017.
Option: Supplied with 2 chipboard screws per special insert nut, fully threaded screw with an attractive pan head for universal fastening of metal fittings or plastic brackets in wood in dry indoor or damp areas, 4.5 x 20/25
T-nuts are needed for mounting climbing holds to a wooden wall. The T-nuts act as the counterpart to the socket head cap screws.
The major advantage of the special "PROFESSIONAL" T-nut is that it is not hammered in, but rather secured from the back with two chipboard screws. This means that a T-nut will NEVER come loose from your climbing wall again!

Conclusion:
The "PROFESSIONAL" special T-nut offers a
high-quality alternative to the standard T-nut. It also has advantages
over other special T-nuts that
are mounted with four chipboard screws. This is due not only to the halved
installation effort of the
"PROFESSIONAL" special T-nut, but also to its increased load-bearing capacity. The two holes
for the chipboard screws have a significantly larger diameter than
the four holes in a conventional special T-nut. This allows for
the use of thicker screws when installing the "PROFESSIONAL
," providing optimal stability for your climbing holds.
Installation:
As a first step, create a grid and mark all the locations where the T-nuts will later be installed. For bouldering walls, a 10 cm hole spacing is recommended (95 T-nuts required per square meter) or a 15 cm spacing (45 T-nuts required per square meter), with the second row offset from the row above. Alternatively, you can use exactly as many T-nuts as you have climbing holds. The disadvantage of this method is that you have limited options for repositioning the holds on the wall. Furthermore, if you extend the climbing wall to add more T-nuts, the entire panels would have to be removed. After marking the locations for the T-nuts, drill 12 mm holes at these points. The T-nut is then inserted into the panel from the back through these holes. For a better hold, apply a special wood-to-metal adhesive to the T-nut.
