Trend Worktop Connector Joining Bolts - ZIP/35/164/3

Refer to the manufacturer's instructions or the product packaging for the specific torque specifications.

The bolts are designed to work with various types of worktops, but it's important to select the correct size for the worktop thickness.

You'll need a drill/driver and a 5mm hex bit. Depending on your worktop, you may also need a router or other tools.

Zipclips are included in some kits to hold the bolt securely in the routed recess during installation, preventing it from falling out before it is tightened.

Regularly inspect the joints for any movement or looseness. Re-tighten the bolts to the recommended torque if necessary.

Replacement bolts are available from the same supplier where you purchased the original connectors, or from other retailers.

The heat-treated end plate can handle high torque levels to prevent deformation or damage during tightening.

Check the alignment of the worktops before tightening the bolts. Ensure the recesses are properly routed and the bolts are inserted correctly. Re-tighten if necessary.

Make sure the hex bit is securely fitted in the geared head mechanism. Check for any obstructions in the bolt recess. If the bolt is still difficult to tighten, consider using a different drill/driver or a manual hex key.

Avoid over-tightening the bolt during installation. If the bolt is stripped or damaged, replace it with a new one of the correct size.
