FAQs
What is the primary advantage of JCP Fixings Throughbolts Zyp?
Their primary advantage is providing a strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant fixing solution, especially for heavy-duty applications.
What material are these throughbolts made from?
They are made from durable, zinc-plated steel.
What does 'M8 x 80' refer to?
'M8' refers to the metric thread diameter (8mm), and '80' refers to the length of the bolt in millimeters (80mm).
Can I use these throughbolts in drywall?
No, these throughbolts are designed for solid materials like concrete, brick, or dense timber and are not suitable for drywall.
How do I ensure a secure fix?
Proper hole preparation (correct size and cleanliness) and ensuring the substrate is adequate for the load are crucial for a secure fix.
Are these bolts suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the zinc-plated steel provides good corrosion resistance for many outdoor applications, though prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may require additional protection.
Troubleshooting
Throughbolt does not feel secure after tightening
Ensure the hole was drilled to the correct diameter and depth. Verify the substrate is sound and capable of holding the load. Check if any debris was left in the hole.
Difficulty inserting the throughbolt
Confirm the drilled hole's diameter matches the throughbolt. Ensure the hole is completely clear of dust and obstructions.
Corrosion observed on the throughbolt surface
Wipe clean with a dry cloth. For ongoing protection in harsh environments, consider applying a suitable anti-corrosion coating.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Excellent corrosion resistance due to zinc plating.
Straightforward and fast installation process.
Suitable for demanding construction environments.
Provides a very secure and stable anchoring solution.
Durable construction ensures a long service life.
Cons
Requires appropriate drilling and substrate knowledge for optimal use.

Specific size may not fit every unique application without adaptation.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Drill Hole: Select a drill bit appropriate for the substrate (e.g., masonry bit for brick/concrete) and the throughbolt diameter. Drill a hole to the required depth and diameter as specified for M8 throughbolts.
Clean Hole: Thoroughly clean the drilled hole of any dust or debris using a brush or vacuum.
Insert Throughbolt: Place the fixture over the throughbolt and insert the bolt into the prepared hole.
Tighten Nut: Secure the fixture by tightening the nut onto the bolt.
Compatibility:
Suitable for use in solid masonry, concrete, and potentially dense timber. Always test in an inconspicuous area or consult technical specifications if unsure.
Ensure the substrate is capable of bearing the load intended for the fixture.
Care:
The zinc-plated finish offers good corrosion resistance. Avoid prolonged exposure to highly corrosive environments without additional protection.
Periodically check the tightness of the nut, especially in applications subject to vibration or stress.
