M6 x 13mm Metal Type D Nuts | Zinc

The M6 x 13mm Type D Flanged Insert Nut is a robust self-tapping threaded insert designed to create strong, permanent metric threads in timber, MDF, plywood, particleboard, chipboard and other engineered wood materials. Manufactured from high-quality zinc alloy die-cast, these inserts provide exceptional pull-out resistance while delivering a durable metal thread for repeated assembly and maintenance.

Featuring an aggressive self-tapping external thread, the insert cuts directly into the base material for fast installation without the need for adhesives. The integral flange helps prevent over-insertion while protecting decorative and laminated surfaces from splitting or damage during installation.

Designed for professional furniture manufacturers, joinery applications and commercial installations, these M6 threaded inserts provide a reliable fixing solution where strength, durability and vibration resistance are essential.

Why Choose Type D Flanged Insert Nuts?

Type D insert nuts provide a significant upgrade over conventional wood screws by creating a permanent metal thread capable of withstanding repeated installation and removal of machine screws without compromising the surrounding material.

The self-tapping external thread delivers superior holding power, while the integrated flange distributes installation pressure evenly to help prevent surface damage and over-insertion. This combination makes them ideal for applications exposed to vibration, frequent servicing or repeated assembly.
