The Ultimate Hardware Upgrade for Hydrofoil & eFoil Enthusiasts
Standard marine hardware often compromises on weight or long-term durability. Our Titanium Barrel Nuts are designed for foilers, eFoilers, and custom gear builders who demand maximum reliability in extreme marine conditions.
Whether you're pushing high speeds on an eFoil, carving swells on a wing foil, or performing big jumps, these cross dowel barrel nuts ensure your mast-to-fuselage and fuselage-to-wing connections stay rock-solid.
Why Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V)?
Zero Corrosion & Seizing: Unlike 316 stainless steel which can still corrode or gall over time in saltwater, titanium forms an instantaneous oxide layer that renders it completely immune to saltwater corrosion.
Maximum Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Titanium delivers the strength of hardened steel at nearly half the weight, reducing dead weight on your foil setup.
Smooth Threading: CNC-cut threads provide effortless bolt engagement without striping or bind-up.
FAQ
Q1: Why should I choose Titanium barrel nuts over 316 Stainless Steel?
A1: While 316 stainless steel is common, it is heavy and still prone to tea-staining, rusting, or galling in enclosed marine joints. Grade 5 Titanium is ~45% lighter, significantly stronger, and completely immune to saltwater corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance and easy disassembly.
Q2: Will these barrel nuts fit my hydrofoil brand?
A2: Our barrel nuts are designed to universal metric standards (M6/M8 options). They fit most popular hydrofoil, wing foil, and eFoil brands on the market. Please check your existing barrel nut dimensions (Outer Diameter & Length) or contact us for custom sizing.
Q3: What is the slot on top of the barrel nut used for?
A3:The top slot allows you to use a standard flathead screwdriver to rotate and align the threaded hole perfectly with the bolt hole inside deep mast or fuselage channels during assembly.
Q4: Do you offer custom sizes or custom anodized colors for OEM orders?
A4: Yes! As a specialized CNC titanium manufacturer (BOZE CNC-Ti), we support custom dimensions, thread pitches, and surface treatments (Anodized colors, PVD coating) for OEM/ODM orders.
