Can someone identify this part for me?

Post by gilbo »

Hi - I recently started doing maintenance at a high school in Leeds, I have discovered in one of our changing rooms that a bunch of shower cubicles are falling to pieces because they are missing these bolts (I have included a picture of the bolts and also what the cubicles are like)

Can anyone identify what exactly these bolts are and where I can get them? Also, has anyone ever seen the metal arched brackets like the one attached to the wall? Thanks everyone

The screw bit looks like a Resistorx countersunk Machine screw.

The other bit could be custom made, not sure if it will be an off the shelf item or not.

The second bit is a Barrel Nut.

No Idea where to get the Barrel nuts from. If your school as a lathe you could soon get some knocked up :wink:

They are standard fixings for cubical/panels any fixings shop should have or be able to get them.

The bracket is manufacturer specific
