M8 Cross Dowel Barrel Nuts – Zinc‑Plated, 2×15×50 mm, Box of 250

An M8 cross dowel barrel nut is a special long‑bodied, double‑hole fastener used with mating screws to lock components firmly together in furniture manufacturing, timber construction, and assembly work. With a standard M8 thread, 2 mm thickness, and 50 mm overall length, it creates strong, dependable joints that resist wobble and loosening under load. Supplied in a bulk carton of 250, it offers an economical, convenient supply for high‑volume furniture workshops and large‑scale projects.

Product Advantages

• Standard M8 Thread: The most widely used industry size; works directly with compatible M8 furniture legs, bolts, and connectors
• Dual Anti‑Rotation Holes: Unlike single‑hole designs, it will not turn or slip; the joint stays tight and fixed
• Zinc‑Plated Finish: Resists rust and discolouration for years under normal indoor conditions
• Solid Steel Body: 2 mm robust construction; will not bend under load and the thread remains secure
• Longer Service Life: Extended body provides a large gripping surface within the timber; spreads load and prevents screw‑hole tear‑out over time
• Straightforward Installation: Drill a pilot hole of matching diameter, insert the nut, and pin it in place with short screws or nails through the side holes; no special tools required
• Cost‑Effective Bulk Pack: Carton of 250 delivers low unit pricing and simplifies stock management for continuous‑production workshops
• Full System Compatibility: Interfaces seamlessly with all M8‑threaded legs, bolts, and furniture hardware

Installation Guidelines

• Drill a pilot hole to the correct diameter — sized for a firm sliding fit without excessive play
• Insert the barrel nut and align so the threaded opening faces outward toward the mating part
• Secure the nut to the timber using short pins or screws through the side holes to stop it rotating during tightening
• Fit the mating component and tighten the M8 bolt/leg gradually; do not over‑tighten as this may split or crush the wood
• Check the joint for stability by gentle movement; retighten or secure the nut further if any looseness appears
• Add reinforcing blocks around heavily loaded joints where extra strength is required
• Use stainless‑steel M8 fasteners if the assembly will be located in damp or humid environments
• When disassembling, back the bolt out slowly; hold the barrel nut in place externally to prevent it turning with the bolt

Frequently Asked Questions

What does M8 mean?
It refers to the 8 mm nominal diameter of the mating thread. The barrel nut’s internal thread is precisely tapped to match this standard.

Are other sizes available?
Yes — M6 and M10 threads plus alternative body lengths are available. Select the size that matches your mating bolt or leg thread.

Will they rust?
Zinc plating provides reliable protection indoors. For exterior or continuously damp locations, choose the stainless‑steel version.

What goes through the side holes?
Short nails or small head screws are inserted to lock the nut and stop it spinning as you tighten the main bolt.

How many should I use?
One per joint is standard; use one per leg for tables and stands. Distribute load across multiple fixings for extra‑heavy pieces.
