How to Use T-Nuts: A Quick Guide
Method 1: Simply slide T-Nut into T-Slot from the side.
Method 2: Push T-Nut into T-Slot at an angle then snap into place so it ends up flat. You can
lever the allen wrench in the screw hole to help with this. This method is what you will use
once the ends are blocked.

How to Use T-Nuts: A Quick Guide (Cont.)
Once T-Nut is in place, simply secure the bracket etc. with the correct length screw.
PRO TIP: If you are installing vertically and need to hold the T-Nut in place, you can put
the long end of the allen wrench into the T-Slot channel to hold it from below.

Important → Method 3: Place bolts into holes. Then loosely attach T-nuts onto bolts. Then
you can slide the entire assembly into the T-slot all at once. This can save a huge amount of
time!
