Security Trident Nuts

Tanner Trident Nuts are suitable for tamper-resistant fastening for a wide range of products using bolts, screws, or concrete and masonry anchoring devices. Tanner Trident Nuts have been used extensively in correctional institutions, hospitals, universities, public places and retail stores to secure a variety of products, including inmate furniture, scaffolding, electrical and electronic equipment, computers and related equipment, traffic signs, park benches, outdoor play equipment, and consumer product displays. The Trident Nut is a tamper-resistant, internally threaded fastening device featuring a conical design that prevents unauthorized removal. It has three indented slots for installation and removal with a proprietary tool.

Trident nuts are manufactured from ZAMAK 5 zinc alloy and 316 Stainless Steel

ZAMAK 5 zinc alloy (AC41A) is durable and has the highest impact strength of all the zinc-based alloys. They are lightweight, rust-proof and corrosion-resistant. Five-year exposure trials showed no significant galvanic corrosion attack on zinc alloys coupled to steel and other engineering metals.

Material Specifications Zamak 5

Type 316 is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel containing molybdenum. This addition increases general corrosion resistance, improves resistance to pitting from chloride ion solutions, and increases strength at elevated temperatures.

Material Specifications Zamak 5

Material Specifications 316 Stainless Steel
