Connecting bolts and barrel nuts make strong joints. You have probably built some in. ready to assemble in (RTA) furniture that used this fastener. 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 in the barrel nut, align it to 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.
