How to install Round Base
T-nuts
(With 1 person it takes about 7 seconds)
Items you'll need:
Electric drill
Philips Head drill bit
Round Base T-nut
(3) #6 sheet metal screws
(included with t nut orders)
Prior to installing T-nuts your climbing wall should be prepared by creating a grid of holes spaced according to your preference using a 7/16" drill bit. The inner diameter of the t-nuts is 3/8", but the outer diameter is 7/16".
Step one:
Put the t-nut in the hole.
Step two:
Fasten the three screws with the drill.
Finished!
Most people probably don't need these instructions, but they help illustrate
the difference between Round Base and 4 prong t-nuts. If you change routes frequently
you'll appreciate a solid nut which is easy to install, and won't spin or pop out.
On the other hand, If you don't plan on changing the hold positions frequently, you could save a couple bucks by using the 4 prong style.
(Orders for Round Base T-nuts also include the necessary zinc plated screws for installation)
