FAQs

What materials can these bolts be used with?

These bolts are primarily designed for use with concrete, brick, and other solid materials.

What is the recommended torque setting?

Refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the recommended torque setting. Overtightening can damage the bolt and the material.

How do I install the through bolts?
  1. Drill a hole. 2. Insert the bolt. 3. Tighten the bolt using the correct tool.
Are these bolts suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the Zinc Yellow Passivated finish provides good corrosion resistance for outdoor applications.

What if the bolt is too long?

Ensure the bolt is not bottoming out in the hole. If it is, consider a shorter bolt or adjust the installation method accordingly.

Can I reuse these bolts?

It is generally recommended to use new bolts for each installation to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Where can I find the correct drill bit size?

The correct drill bit size is typically indicated on the bolt packaging or in the product specifications.

Troubleshooting

Bolt spins in the hole during tightening.

The hole may be too large. Use a larger diameter bolt or fill the hole with an appropriate filler material before re-drilling.

Bolt fails to tighten sufficiently.

Check the hole depth to ensure it meets the minimum requirement for the bolt. Ensure there is no debris preventing the bolt from expanding correctly.

Corrosion is present on the bolt.

Replace the corroded bolt with a new one to maintain structural integrity. Consider using a different type of bolt with higher corrosion resistance for the environment.
