Cross Dowel Barrel Nuts

A Cross Dowel Nut, also known as a Barrel Nut, is a specialist nut that is commonly used in aerospace and ready-to-assemble furniture applications.

Cross Dowel Nuts and Bolts are used to bolt thin sheet metal parts to bigger components that are often billet or forged. Barrel Nuts are designed for use with Joint Connector Bolts, where a right angle connection is needed.

Our M6 Cross Dowels are supplied in a Zinc Alloy material for a cost-effective solution, whereas the Cross Dowel M8 Nuts are supplied in Steel, for additional strength. The M8 Barrel Nuts are therefore ideal where heavier applications are required - typically on boards of 22mm thickness upwards.

  • Cross Dowel Barrel Nut Sizes: M6 and M8.

Joint Connector Bolts

Joint Connector Bolts, which are often known as Furniture Connector Bolts or more simply Joint Bolts, can be used with Joint Connector Nuts & Barrel Nuts. Our customers regularly purchase our Cross Dowel Barrel Nuts too.

Made from zinc plated steel, for superior oxidation, they are ideal in the assembly of flat-packed furniture. Quick and easy, thanks to the flat head with a hexagonal drive. They can be fitted using an M4 Allen Key (not supplied).

  • Compatible threads; M6 Joint Connector Bolts and M8 Joint Connector Bolts.

Standoffs

Our range of Standoffs, which are commonly referred to as Hex Spacers or Standoff Pillars, are quick and easy to install thanks to their screw-in design. Our standoffs are available in both a non-undercut and undercut version. Non-undercut spacers offer greater stability, but require a washer for installation. Whereas undercut spacers are much quicker to install, and allow spacers to be stacked and do not require the use of a washer - making them a econonical solution. Our spacer range is also available in self-tapping types for mating with non-threaded fittings.

Our standoff spacers offering includes undercut male to female standoff made from either, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated steel, aluminium or stainless steel, which are self-tapping. Female to female hex spacers made from brass, stainless steel, nickel-plated brass or zinc-plated steel. A self-tapping male to female hexagonal spacer made from nickel-plated hardened steel that's brass coloured. We also offer a round natural Nylon 6/6 push spacer.
