FAQs

What is the grade of these bolts?

These bolts are Grade 5.8, indicating their strength and load-bearing capacity.

What materials are these bolts suitable for?

These bolts are suitable for use with a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and plastic, provided the material has appropriate pre-drilled holes for the bolt diameter and has sufficient thickness to support the bolt.

What size wrench is required?

The wrench size will be determined by the nut's size and shape. Check the nut's dimensions for the correct wrench or socket size. As a general guide, M12 bolts often require a 19mm wrench.

Are these bolts suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, making them suitable for outdoor applications. However, regularly inspect them for wear and tear.

Can I use these bolts for heavy-duty applications?

While these bolts are robust, they are not designed for extremely high-stress, critical applications. Assess the load requirements of your project and ensure the bolts' grade is appropriate.

How do I prevent the nut from loosening?

Ensure the nut is properly tightened. For applications with vibration, consider using a locking nut or applying thread locker.

What is the length of the bolts?

The bolts are 120mm in length.

Troubleshooting

Bolt does not fit through the hole.

Verify the hole size and the bolt diameter (M12). Enlarge the hole if necessary, but ensure it does not compromise the structural integrity.

Nut is difficult to tighten.

Ensure the threads on both the bolt and the nut are clean and undamaged. Apply a lubricant if necessary, and use the correct size wrench or socket.

Bolt appears to be loosening over time.

Re-tighten the nut to the appropriate torque. Consider using a locking nut or thread locker for applications where vibration is present.

Rust or corrosion appears on the bolt.

Clean the bolt and apply a rust inhibitor. Consider replacing the bolt if the corrosion is extensive and compromises the strength of the bolt.
