FAQs
What material are these bolts and nuts made from?
They are constructed from durable carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance.
What is the diameter and length of these bolts?
The diameter is M6 and the length is 20mm.
Are washers included with this pack?
No, washers are not included in this pack of 10 roofing bolts and nuts.
Can these be used for structural applications?
They are suitable for general DIY and non-critical structural applications. For safety-critical or heavy-duty structural work, consult with a qualified engineer.
How many bolts and nuts are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 bolts and 10 nuts.
Are these bolts suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the zinc plating provides protection against outdoor elements, but prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may lead to eventual corrosion.
Troubleshooting
Bolt won't thread smoothly into the nut.
Check for any debris or damage on the bolt threads or inside the nut. Ensure you are using an M6 nut with an M6 bolt. Try cleaning the threads before attempting to thread again.
Bolt spins when trying to tighten the nut.
Ensure the bolt head is properly seated and held steady with a wrench or spanner while the nut is being tightened. If the hole is too large, consider using a washer with a smaller outer diameter or a different type of fastener.
Rust or corrosion visible on the bolts/nuts.
Light surface rust can be cleaned off with a wire brush. For significant corrosion, consider replacing the fixings to ensure structural integrity. Store unused fixings in a dry environment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Constructed from strong carbon steel for reliable performance.
- Zinc plating offers good resistance to corrosion.
- Standard M6 size ensures broad compatibility with other M6 hardware.
- Supplied in a practical pack of 10, suitable for most DIY tasks.
- Versatile for various DIY projects beyond just roofing.
Cons
- 20mm length may be insufficient for very thick materials.
- Requires appropriate tools (wrenches, spanners) for tightening.
- Zinc plating can be scratched, potentially exposing the base metal.
- Nuts and bolts are supplied separately, requiring assembly.
- May require additional washers depending on the application for better load distribution.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Thread the bolt through the pre-drilled holes in the materials you wish to join.
- Place the nut onto the threaded end of the bolt.
- Tighten the nut securely using appropriate wrenches or spanners. Hold the bolt head steady while tightening the nut to prevent spinning.
Compatibility:
- These M6 bolts are compatible with any M6 nuts or M6 threaded holes.
- They are suitable for use with materials that can accommodate a 20mm bolt length and allow for secure tightening.
- For best results, use with M6 washers (not included) to distribute pressure and protect surfaces.
Care:
- While zinc-plated, prolonged exposure to harsh corrosive environments may eventually degrade the finish.
- Periodically inspect fixings for signs of rust or damage.
- If rust appears, it can be treated with rust converter or removed and the area re-protected, though replacement is often more practical for exposed applications.
