Decorative Bolts are used to pull together panels or to connect cabinets.

You have probably built some already: (RTA) ready-to-assemble furniture uses this fastener.

Connecting bolts and barrel nuts make strong joints. This fastener is popular because it creates strong joints, does not depend on the poor fastener-holding power of end grain, and it is virtually impossible to assemble the joint incorrectly, a real advantage in the RTA market. Joint construction is easy. Drill a 1/4 in. clearance hole into the end grain for the connector bolt. Then, drill an intersecting 13/32 in. dia. hole for the 3/8 in. dia. barrel nut. Drop the barrel nut into place, align it with the connector bolt hole, slip in the connector bolt, then tighten with a 4mm Allen wrench, and you are done. Critical details: The connector-bolt head is 15mm (a bit less than 5/8 in.) in diameter and 3/32 in. thick. The holes in the barrel nuts are offset 1/4 in. from the bottom.

FEATURES:

• 1/4-20 threads fit barrel nuts for joining panels at right angle to each other

• Measures 1-9/32 in. from top of head to tip of bolt, and 1-3/16 in. from underside of head to tip of bolt
