FAQs
What materials can these hook bolts be used with?
These bolts are designed for use with masonry, concrete, brick, and block materials.
What size hole do I need to drill?
You will need to drill a 12mm clearance hole for the expansive bolt.
What size spanner is required to tighten the nut?
A 10mm spanner is required to tighten the expansion nut on the M6 thread.
Are these bolts suitable for structural applications?
No, these bolts are not suitable for applications requiring Building Inspector or Local Authority approval. They are intended for general fixing and hanging of items.
What is the internal eye diameter of the hook?
The internal eye diameter of the hook is 20mm.
How many bolts are included in a pack?
This pack contains 8 pieces of 6mm closed hook bolts.
What does 'zinc passivated finish' mean for the user?
This finish provides enhanced protection against rust and corrosion, contributing to the bolt's durability and lifespan, especially in outdoor or damp environments.
Troubleshooting
Bolt does not feel secure after tightening.
Ensure the drilled hole is the correct size (12mm) and that the expansion mechanism has properly engaged with the material. Re-drill if the hole is too large. Ensure the 10mm spanner is fully engaging the nut.
Difficulty tightening the expansion nut.
Verify you are using a 10mm spanner. Ensure there is no debris obstructing the M6 thread. Check that the bolt is properly seated in the hole before attempting to tighten.
Corrosion appears on the bolt surface.
While the zinc passivated finish provides protection, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions can cause minor surface rust. Clean gently and ensure the area is dry. For critical applications, consider specialized coatings if the finish is compromised.
