The bolt has a metric size of M6 (6mm) in diameter and is 20mm in length.
How many bolts are included in a pack?
This pack contains 20 pieces of the M6 x 20mm bolt and flange nut set.
Can I use these bolts for outdoor roofing applications?

Yes, other lengths such as M6 x 12mm, M6 x 16mm, M6 x 25mm, M6 x 40mm, and M6 x 50mm are available.
Troubleshooting
Bolt does not thread smoothly into nut.
Check for cross-threading. Ensure both bolt and nut threads are clean and free from debris. Try backing off the nut slightly and re-engaging.
Nut spins freely and won't tighten.
Verify that the bolt is long enough to engage sufficient threads in the nut. Ensure the serrations on the flange nut are making contact with the surface and not spinning freely.
Pozi drive head is stripping.
Ensure you are using the correct size Pozi drive (PZ) bit. Apply firm, consistent downward pressure while turning to prevent cam-out.
Bolt feels loose after tightening.
Confirm the serrated flange nut is properly engaged and biting into the surface. Check if the bolt length is adequate for the combined thickness of the materials.
