FAQs

What is the material of the bolts and nuts?

The bolts and nuts are made of carbon steel and zinc plated for corrosion resistance.

What is the size of the bolts?

The bolts have an M8 diameter and are 120mm in length.

Are these bolts suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, but in harsh outdoor environments, periodic inspection and additional corrosion protection are recommended.

How do I determine the correct bolt length?

The bolt length should be sufficient to pass through the materials being joined, plus some extra length for the nut and any washers.

What tools are needed to tighten the bolts?

A wrench or socket set is required to tighten the hex head bolts and nuts.

What is the purpose of the zinc plating?

Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, protecting the steel from rust and environmental damage.

Can these bolts be used with wood?

Troubleshooting

Bolt or nut is difficult to turn.

Check the threads for damage or debris. Clean or replace if necessary. Apply a small amount of lubricant.

Bolt is not long enough.

Ensure the bolt length is appropriate for the thickness of the materials being joined. Replace with a longer bolt if needed.

Corrosion is present.

Clean the bolt and nut and apply a corrosion inhibitor. If severe, replace the affected components.
