FAQs
What type of concrete can I use this through bolt in?
This Masonmate Through Bolt is specifically designed for use in non-cracked concrete only. It is not suitable for cracked concrete or other masonry materials.
What is the benefit of the zinc-plated finish?
The zinc plating increases the durability of the bolt and provides enhanced resistance to corrosion, helping to prolong its life and maintain the integrity of the fixing.
Can I use this for outdoor applications?
The zinc plating offers good corrosion resistance for typical outdoor use. However, for highly corrosive environments or prolonged exposure to harsh weather, consider stainless steel alternatives.
How do I ensure the bolt is installed correctly?
Drill a hole of the correct size and depth, clean it thoroughly, insert the bolt, and tighten the nut to the recommended torque. Avoid over-tightening.
What does ETA Approved mean?
ETA Approved indicates that the product has undergone rigorous testing and meets specific European Technical Assessment standards for its intended use, assuring a certified level of performance and safety.
What are the dimensions of this specific product?
This specific product is an M20 x 200mm through bolt, sold in a pack of 10.
Troubleshooting
Bolt does not tighten securely
Ensure the hole drilled is the correct diameter and depth. Clean the hole thoroughly. Check if the concrete substrate is adequate and non-cracked. Verify the correct torque is being applied.
Difficulty inserting the bolt
Ensure the hole is clean and free of obstruction. Check if the correct drill bit size was used. The hole may need to be reamed slightly if debris is preventing insertion.
Corrosion visible on the bolt
Inspect the environment for corrosive elements. For persistent issues, consider using a stainless steel alternative if the application allows. Ensure the zinc plating was not damaged during installation.
Bolt spins freely when tightening
The bolt may not be engaging properly with the concrete. This could be due to an oversized hole or insufficient concrete density. If this occurs, the bolt may need to be replaced with a larger diameter or a different anchoring system may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Drill a hole of the specified diameter and depth for the M20 bolt into the non-cracked concrete.
- Clean the drilled hole thoroughly to remove dust and debris.
- Insert the Masonmate Through Bolt through the item being fixed and into the pre-drilled hole.
- Tighten the nut to the recommended torque specification using an appropriate wrench. Ensure the bolt is snug but avoid over-tightening, which can damage the concrete or the bolt.
Compatibility:

- Ensure the substrate has adequate compressive strength to support the intended load.
Care:
- The zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance. Regularly inspect the bolts for any signs of damage or excessive corrosion, especially in harsh environments.
- Keep the threaded portion clean and free from excessive dirt or debris.
- If used in a highly corrosive environment, consider using stainless steel alternatives.
