Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Drill a hole of the appropriate diameter and depth for an M8 throughbolt in the concrete or masonry substrate.
- Clean the drilled hole thoroughly to remove all dust and debris.
- Insert the throughbolt into the hole.
- Place the object to be fastened over the throughbolt.
- Tighten the nut onto the bolt, ensuring the expansion mechanism activates and secures the bolt firmly.
Compatibility: These throughbolts are designed for use in solid concrete, dense natural stone, and solid brickwork. They are not recommended for hollow blocks, aerated concrete, or plasterboard. Ensure the substrate is sound and capable of supporting the intended load.
Care: As a permanent fixing, throughbolts require no ongoing care. However, periodically inspect the surrounding area for any signs of substrate degradation that could compromise the fixing's integrity.
