Product Information
Full details
This pack of 10 Diall M6 Hex Carbon Steel Bolts and Nuts is designed for DIY enthusiasts and general construction tasks, offering a secure fastening solution for various projects. Constructed from durable carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish, these 70mm long, M6 diameter fasteners provide reliable strength. A potential consideration is that the carbon steel construction may be less resistant to corrosion in highly humid or wet environments compared to stainless steel.

FAQs
What are these bolts and nuts made of?
They are constructed from durable carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish.
What is the diameter and length of the bolts?
The bolts have an M6 diameter and are 70mm in length.
How many bolts and nuts are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 bolts and 10 nuts.
What tools are needed to install these fasteners?
You will need a wrench or socket set, typically 10mm for M6 nuts, to tighten them securely.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
The zinc plating offers some corrosion resistance, making them suitable for moderate outdoor exposure. However, for constant damp or harsh conditions, alternatives like stainless steel may be more appropriate.
Can I use these for structural load-bearing applications?
These fasteners are suitable for general DIY and light construction. For heavy-duty structural applications, consult engineering specifications and use fasteners rated for that purpose.
How should I clean the fasteners if they get dirty?
A damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning. If rust appears, a wire brush can be used to remove surface rust.
Troubleshooting
Bolt does not thread smoothly into the nut.
Ensure the bolt and nut are correctly aligned and that no dirt or debris is present in the threads. Try backing the bolt out and re-threading it. Check for any visible damage to the threads.
Nut is difficult to tighten.
Verify that you are using the correct size wrench or socket (10mm for M6). Make sure the bolt is not too short for the combined thickness of the materials or that the nut is not cross-threaded.
Fastener appears to be rusting.
The zinc plating may be compromised. Clean the affected area with a wire brush. For prolonged outdoor use, consider applying a rust inhibitor or replacing the fasteners with a more corrosion-resistant type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the Diall M6 Hex Carbon Steel Bolts and Nuts, first align the bolt with the pre-drilled holes in the materials you intend to join. Insert the bolt through the holes. Place the nut onto the threaded end of the bolt. Tighten the nut using an appropriate wrench or socket set (typically 10mm for M6 nuts) until the materials are securely fastened. Ensure not to overtighten, which could strip the threads or damage the material.
Compatibility: These M6 bolts and nuts are compatible with any materials that can accommodate a 70mm long bolt with an M6 diameter thread. They are suitable for use with wood, plastic, and thinner gauge metals when used with appropriate pilot holes.
Care: To maintain the longevity of the zinc plating and prevent corrosion, keep the fasteners clean and dry. If used in an outdoor or humid environment, regular inspection for any signs of rust is recommended. Minor surface rust can often be removed with a wire brush, but significant corrosion may indicate the need for replacement.
