Product Introduction
A flat head sleeve nut, also called a barrel nut or furniture connector, is a cylindrical, internally threaded fastener designed to be inserted into pre-drilled holes for creating a secure connection between parts, often in furniture assembly. It features a wide, low-profile flat head with a hex (Allen) socket, which allows for a large surface contact area to firmly clamp components without damaging them when tightened with an Allen key.
Product Advantage
Flush and Aesthetic Finish:
The flat head sits evenly with the surface, providing a smooth, clean look, which is crucial for furniture, stairs, and other visible structural elements.
Secure and Damage-Free Clamping:
The wide, low-profile flat head offers a large surface area, allowing for tight clamping without damaging the material.
Strong and Durable Connections:
Made from materials like carbon steel or stainless steel, these nuts provide excellent mechanical strength and resistance to wear, ensuring long-lasting fastenings.
Corrosion Resistance:
Many flat head sleeve nuts feature a zinc-plated finish or are made from stainless steel, which enhances their resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for various environments.
Easy Installation:
They are designed to be pushed into a pre-drilled hole and secured with an Allen (hex) key or screwdriver, streamlining the assembly process.

Product Operate Guide
1. Drill the Hole:
Use a carbide drill bit to drill a hole in the base material (e.g., concrete, brick) with the same diameter as the sleeve anchor. The hole must also be the correct depth to accommodate the anchor's embedment and the material to be fastened.
2. Clean the Hole:
Remove any debris from the drilled hole using compressed air, a wire brush, or a vacuum.
3. Position the Anchor:
Insert the sleeve anchor through the fixture you are attaching.
4. Seat the Anchor:
Push the anchor into the hole until the washer or nut is snug against the fixture. You may need to lightly tap it with a hammer to ensure it is properly seated.
5. Tighten the Nut:
Using a wrench, turn the flat head nut. As you tighten, the conical nut at the end of the anchor is pulled up into the sleeve.
6. Expansion and Securing:
The inward movement of the conical nut causes the sleeve to expand, pushing against the walls of the drilled hole and creating a strong, stable friction fit.
7. Final Tightening:
Tighten the nut until it is fully secure and the flat head of the anchor is flush with the surface of the material being fastened, providing a low-profile connection.
