Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the diameter of these bolts?

These bolts are M8, meaning they have a metric diameter of 8 mm.

Are the nuts included in the box?

Yes, each box of 25 bolts includes the corresponding square nuts for every bolt.

Can these be used outdoors?

Yes, the bright zinc-plated (BZP) finish provides good protection against rust and corrosion for standard outdoor roofing projects.

What does Grade 4.8 mean?

This refers to the tensile strength of the steel, making it a standard grade suitable for general construction and fastening.

Can I use these for marine environments?

These are not recommended for marine use, as salt water can quickly corrode the zinc plating.

Troubleshooting

Bolt does not fit through the pre-drilled hole

Ensure the pilot hole is at least 8.5 mm to account for the bolt diameter and coating thickness.

Nut is difficult to tighten by hand

Square nuts are designed to be tightened with a wrench or socket; do not attempt to tighten by hand.

Signs of surface oxidation appearing

If the finish is scratched during installation, touch up the area with a cold-galvanizing spray or exterior-grade metal paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High corrosion resistance thanks to BZP finish
  • Secure fit with included square nuts
  • Professional appearance with mushroom head design
  • Robust grade 4.8 steel construction
  • Suitable for both professional construction and home DIY

Cons

  • Length (220 mm) may be excessive for smaller applications
  • Not intended for marine or highly caustic chemical environments
  • Requires proper tooling for manual tightening of square nuts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure you have the appropriate size wrench or socket set to accommodate the M8 bolt and its square nut.

  1. Pre-drilling: For most timber applications, pre-drill a pilot hole slightly larger than 8 mm to prevent the wood from splitting when the bolt is inserted.
  2. Tightening: Use a wrench to hold the square nut in place while tightening the mushroom head from the top to ensure a flush, secure seal.
  3. Care: While the BZP finish is corrosion-resistant, avoid using high-impact power tools that may strip the plating, as this can expose the raw steel and accelerate rust. If the bolts are exposed to extreme weather, a quick wipe-down with a light machine oil can provide an extra layer of protection during the initial installation phase.
