Product Information

Full details

The TIMco Through Bolt M12 x 180mm is designed for professional contractors and construction applications requiring precise, torque-controlled anchoring in concrete. Its key benefit lies in its robust cold-formed carbon steel construction and engineered expansion technology, ensuring secure and durable fixings. A primary caveat is its corrosion resistance, which is limited to clean, dry, low-humidity environments due to its bright zinc plating.

FAQs

What is the recommended torque setting for this through bolt?

Specific torque settings are usually provided by the manufacturer based on concrete strength and load requirements. Consult the TIMco technical data or a structural engineer for precise values. Manual tightening involves 3 to 4 full finger turns after initial placement.

What material is the TIMco Through Bolt made from?

The bolt is constructed from cold-formed carbon steel.

What is the purpose of the chamfered head design?

The chamfered head is designed to protect the bolt's thread integrity during the installation process, preventing damage and ensuring easier and more reliable tightening.

Can this through bolt be used outdoors?

While the bright zinc plating offers some corrosion resistance, it is best suited for clean, dry, low-humidity environments. For outdoor use, especially in exposed conditions, alternative fixings with superior corrosion resistance are recommended.

How many through bolts are included in a bag?

Each bag contains 8 TIMco Through Bolts.

What is the fixture hole size required for this bolt?

The recommended fixture hole size for this M12 x 180mm through bolt is Ø14mm.

Troubleshooting

Bolt does not expand properly

Ensure the hole is clean and the correct diameter (Ø14mm). Verify that the bolt is inserted correctly and that the expansion mechanism is not obstructed. Check that the correct tightening method (torque wrench or manual turns) is being applied.

Difficulty tightening the bolt

Confirm the hole is clean and free of debris. Ensure the bolt threads are not damaged. If using a torque wrench, check its calibration. If tightening manually, ensure you are applying consistent force.

Signs of corrosion on the bolt

This indicates the environment exceeds the bolt's corrosion resistance rating. For ongoing use, consider replacing the bolt with a more corrosion-resistant type or applying a suitable protective coating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides secure and reliable anchoring in concrete.
Durable construction with cold-formed carbon steel.
Fast and efficient installation due to the expansion clip.
Chamfered head protects threads during installation.
Suitable for professional contracting and construction.

Cons

Corrosion resistance is limited to clean, dry, low-humidity conditions.
Requires a specific fixture hole size (Ø14mm).
Not suitable for exterior or high-moisture applications without additional protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Drill a hole of Ø14mm in the concrete substrate.
Clean the hole thoroughly to remove dust and debris.
Insert the TIMco Through Bolt M12 x 180mm through the fixture and into the drilled hole.
Expand the bolt using a torque spanner to the recommended torque setting, or manually tighten by rotating 3 to 4 full finger turns.

Compatibility:

Designed for use in concrete.
Requires a fixture hole size of Ø14mm.
Compatible with M12 fixings.

Care:

The bright zinc plated and passivated finish offers limited corrosion resistance. For applications in environments with higher humidity or exposure to moisture, consider using alternative corrosion-resistant fixings or applying protective coatings.
Store in a dry place to maintain the integrity of the finish.
