FAQs

What does 'Self Colour' mean for this bow nut?

Self Colour means the bow nut has its natural metal finish without any plating or painting. It offers a durable surface but may show surface rust over time if exposed to moisture, which does not typically affect its structural integrity unless severe.

Is this bow nut suitable for angled lifts?

No, the Safe Working Load (SWL) of 1.01 Ton is strictly for vertical lifts only. Using it for angled lifts will significantly reduce its load capacity and can lead to failure.

How do I obtain the test certificate?

You can request the test certificate via email from the supplier. It is not automatically included with the product but is available upon request.

What is the thread pitch for this M16 bow nut?

The thread pitch for this M16 bow nut is 2.00mm.

What are the key dimensions of the M16 bow nut?

The key dimensions are: A - 15.1MM, B - 28.6MM, C - 12.8MM, D - 36.1MM, E - 17.5MM, F - 46.7MM, G - 19.6MM.

Can I weld to this bow nut?

The product description states there is no weld at the top of the thread, indicating it is not designed for welding modifications.

What is the maximum weight this bow nut can lift?

The maximum weight this bow nut can lift is 1.01 Ton (1010KG), but only when the load is applied vertically.

Troubleshooting

Bow nut is difficult to thread onto the bolt.

Ensure both the bow nut's internal thread and the bolt's external thread are clean and undamaged. Check for any debris or cross-threading. If damaged, replace the bow nut or bolt.

Concerns about the Safe Working Load (SWL) accuracy.

Review the product specifications and ensure the load is strictly vertical. If further assurance is needed, request the test certificate from the supplier.

Visible signs of corrosion on the self-colour finish.

Minor surface rust on the self-colour finish can often be removed with a wire brush and the product can continue to be used if structurally sound. However, significant pitting or corrosion affecting the material integrity requires the product to be removed from service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the M16 bolt or threaded rod is clean and free of damage.
  2. Thread the M16 bow nut onto the bolt or rod, ensuring it screws in smoothly.
  3. Tighten the nut securely using appropriate tools. Do not overtighten.
  4. Attach your lifting accessory (e.g., shackle, eye bolt) through the eye of the bow nut.

Compatibility:

  • Thread Size: Specifically designed for M16 threads with a pitch of 2.00mm.
  • Lifting Accessories: Compatible with shackles, eye bolts, and other rigging hardware that can pass through the bow nut's eye.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect the bow nut for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage before each use.
  • Clean the bow nut with a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the self-colour finish.
  • Store in a dry environment to prevent premature corrosion.
  • If damage or significant wear is observed, remove the bow nut from service immediately.
