FAQs

What materials are these screwbolts suitable for?

These screwbolts are designed for use in concrete, brick, stone, and masonry.

Do I need to use any special tools for installation?

You will need a hammer drill and the appropriate drill bit size for pre-drilling, and a wrench or impact driver for tightening.

How do I determine the correct hole size?

Refer to the product specifications for the correct drill bit size. Ensure the hole is clean from debris.

Can I reuse these screwbolts?

It is generally not recommended to reuse concrete screwbolts, as their performance may be compromised.

What is the recommended tightening torque?

Do not overtighten. Tighten the screwbolt until the flange makes contact with the surface.

How can I prevent corrosion?

Avoid exposing the screwbolts to excessive moisture or corrosive substances. Consider using a protective coating if necessary, especially in outdoor applications.

What if the screwbolt is too long?

If the screwbolt is too long, the excess length will not affect performance as long as it is seated properly and tightened correctly. You can also use a washer to adjust the length.

Troubleshooting

Screwbolt won't tighten properly.

Check the hole diameter; it may be too large. Ensure the screwbolt is correctly seated and that the threads are not damaged. If the hole is too large, consider using a larger diameter screwbolt or filling the hole with an appropriate filler.

Screwbolt spins in the hole.

The hole may be too large or the material may be crumbling. Try a longer screwbolt or consider using a different type of fastener better suited for the material.

Screwbolt breaks during installation.

The hole may not be deep enough, or the material may be too hard. Ensure the hole depth meets the screwbolt's requirements. Use a higher-quality drill bit and drill slowly to avoid damaging the screwbolt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Identify the material and select the appropriate screwbolt size (10mm diameter, 80mm length for this product).
