Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / Technology, marketing piece
English term or phrase: t-fastener
Hi colleagues,

I am not sure what to use in this context.
It's the translation of a marketing text for a seller of t-fasteners. My questions is how to translate "t-fasteners" into Brazilian Portuguese.

CONTEXT:
"We are a direct source for every major t-fastener manufacture worldwide, bringing every hardware product required to build its galley interiors and aerostructures."
"Our customers span the world building interiors for Boeing, Airbus, and..."

There isn't more context on how the t-fasteners are used, since the rest of the text speaks of their distribution and selling process. It's not a technical text after all.

Thanks in advance! :)

Fasteners and safeting devices:
bolts, nuts, washers, cotter pins, safety wire, rivets, screws

I suggest the umbrella term elemento de fixação in T shape.
