FAQs
What material are these bolts and nuts made from?
They are constructed from durable carbon steel.
What is the diameter and length of the bolt?
The bolts have an M6 diameter and are 30mm in length.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
They have a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, making them suitable for moderate outdoor use. However, prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions may still cause corrosion over time.
How many pieces are included in the pack?
This pack contains 10 bolts and 10 corresponding nuts.
What tools are needed to tighten these fasteners?
You will typically need a standard wrench or socket that fits the M6 nut and the hex head of the bolt.
Can I use these for structural applications?
These fasteners are intended for general DIY and repair tasks. For heavy-duty structural applications, fasteners specifically rated for such loads should be used.
Troubleshooting
Bolt or nut is difficult to thread
Ensure you are using the correct M6 size and that the threads on both the bolt and the receiving hole/nut are clean and free from debris. Try backing the bolt out and re-threading gently.
Stripped hex head during tightening
Use the correct size wrench or socket to avoid rounding the hex head. Ensure the tool has a firm grip. If already stripped, you may need to use pliers or a bolt extractor.
Visible rust or corrosion
This can occur if the zinc plating is significantly damaged or exposed to prolonged moisture. For minor surface rust, it may be cleaned off. For severe corrosion, the fastener should be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These bolts and nuts require no special setup. Simply thread the bolt through the desired components and secure it with the corresponding M6 nut. Use an appropriate sized wrench or socket to tighten.
Compatibility:
The M6 diameter is a standard metric size, compatible with any M6 threaded holes or other M6 nuts. They are designed to work with materials of approximately 20-25mm thickness, allowing for the 30mm bolt length. Always ensure the M6 size is appropriate for the load-bearing requirements of your project.
Care:
To maintain the integrity and appearance of the bolts and nuts, store them in a dry environment. Although zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals can lead to corrosion. Clean with a dry cloth if dust accumulates. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the plating.
