Product Information

Full details

The TIMco M10 x 300mm Carriage Bolt is a heavy-duty fastening solution designed for construction professionals and DIY enthusiasts working on timber-based projects. Featuring a robust grade 4.8 carbon steel construction with a protective zinc finish, this bolt provides secure clamping for ironmongery and structural timber connections; however, its substantial 300mm length requires pre-drilled holes and enough clearance behind the installation surface.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this bolt come with the nut included?

Yes, each carriage bolt is supplied with a matching hex nut.

Is the thread fully length-wise on this 300mm bolt?

No, per the specifications, lengths of 160mm and above have a 150mm thread length.

Can I use these for metal-to-metal connections?

Carriage bolts are specifically designed for timber where the square shoulder can sink into the wood; they are not ideal for flat metal-to-metal surfaces.

What is the grade of this steel?

This bolt is manufactured from grade 4.8 carbon steel.

Are these bolts weather-resistant?

They feature a zinc finish which offers standard corrosion resistance, though they are not rated for extreme marine or acidic conditions.

Troubleshooting

Bolt spins in the hole during tightening

Ensure the square shoulder is fully seated into the timber by tapping it with a hammer before applying the nut.

Bolt is difficult to insert through the wood

Check that the hole is clear of debris and drilled at a 90-degree angle; you may need to use a slightly larger drill bit to account for timber expansion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Secure anti-spin square neck simplifies one-person installation
  • Durable grade 4.8 carbon steel ensures structural reliability
  • Zinc plating helps prevent rust in typical environments
  • Includes matching hex nuts for a complete fastening set

Cons

  • Requires pre-drilling through timber to accommodate the square neck
  • The 300mm length requires significant clearance for installation
  • Not intended for extreme marine or highly corrosive environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the hole is drilled straight through the timber to prevent the bolt from binding. Use a hammer to seat the square shoulder into the wood before attempting to tighten the nut. While the zinc finish provides good protection, if you are using these in treated timber or outdoor environments prone to moisture, occasionally check the nuts for tightness. Avoid using impact drivers with excessive force to prevent stripping the threads of the bolt.
