The 'XOX' pattern facilitates easy tightening and loosening. These bolts find extensive use in marine, construction, and external architectural applications where durability against harsh weather conditions is paramount.
Bolts HT - Black
High Tensile (HT) bolts in black are engineered for high-strength requirements and are often employed in machinery, automotive, and structural applications. The black oxide finish provides a minimal corrosion protection layer, making them ideal for interior or low-corrosion environments. Automotive manufacturing and heavy machinery assembly industries benefit significantly from the strength characteristics of these bolts.
Bolts HT - Galv
Galvanized High Tensile bolts offer enhanced corrosion resistance due to their protective zinc coating. These bolts are suited for high-stress applications in corrosive environments, such as marine applications and outdoor construction projects. They ensure longevity and reliability where failure could result in significant safety risks. Industries like construction, marine, and renewable energy infrastructure extensively use these bolts.
Bolts HT - HDG
High Tensile bolts with Hot Dip Galvanizing (HDG) undergo a process that provides one of the highest levels of corrosion protection. The thick, durable coating is especially suitable for heavy industrial environments and structures exposed to high levels of environmental aggressors. Key applications include bridges, highways, and energy production plants, where longevity and safety are critical.
Bolts HT - Metric Fine
Metric Fine bolts are High Tensile fasteners with a finer thread, allowing for more precise tension adjustments. These bolts are particularly useful in automotive engine applications and high-precision machinery, where exact torque specifications are crucial for performance and safety. The precision industries, such as aerospace and high-performance automotive manufacturing, frequently require these specialized bolts.
Bolts HT - UNC
Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread High Tensile bolts offer the ideal balance between thread strength and ease of assembly, making them suitable for general mechanical applications. These bolts are a staple in the manufacturing, automotive, and construction industries due to their versatility and rate of production, particularly in heavy-duty equipment and vehicles.
Bolts HT - UNF
Unified National Fine (UNF) High Tensile bolts possess a finer thread than their UNC counterparts, providing better tension control and resistance to loosening. These characteristics make them highly suited for high-vibration environments like aircraft and high-speed machinery. Industries that demand precision and durability, such as aerospace and defense, rely heavily on UNF bolts.
Gutter Bolts & Nuts
Gutter Bolts & Nuts are specifically designed for fastening guttering systems in both residential and commercial buildings. Their unique design allows for a secure fit, minimizing the risk of leaks. This bolt type is typically made from materials resistant to weather conditions, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable fixing solution for the construction and roofing industries.
Hook Bolts
Hook Bolts are designed for attachment to surfaces where traditional nuts and bolts cannot be used. These bolts are commonly used in securing roofing sheets, lighting fixtures, and electrical cabling to steel frames. Industries such as construction, electrical installation, and industrial lighting systems benefit from the specialized application of hook bolts.
Mild Steel Bolts (Black)
Mild Steel Bolts with a black finish offer a cost-effective solution for general-purpose applications where high tensile strength is not a requirement. These bolts are suitable for interior applications where corrosion resistance is not a major concern, including furniture assembly and general hardware attachments in manufacturing processes.
Mild Steel Bolts (HDG)
Mild Steel Bolts that have undergone Hot Dip Galvanizing process offer improved corrosion resistance for outdoor or harsh environment applications. The HDG process makes these bolts suitable for agricultural, construction, and external landscape installations, where durability and longevity are key considerations.
Nib Bolts
Nib Bolts feature a unique design with projections or 'nibs' under the head that provide a self-locking action, making them ideal for metal to wood or metal to metal applications where vibration might loosen a traditional bolt. These bolts are frequently used in the construction of metal structures, automotive assemblies, and in the manufacturing of heavy machinery.
Plough Bolts & Nuts
Plough Bolts & Nuts are specifically designed for heavy-duty applications in which the bolt head must be flush with the surface to avoid interference. Commonly used in agricultural ploughs and earthmoving equipment, these bolts are essential in the manufacturing and maintenance of heavy machinery where a smooth external surface is required.
Stainless Steel Bolts
Offering the ultimate in corrosion resistance, Stainless Steel Bolts are used in environments where exposure to elements such as water and salt is common. Their strength and durability make them suitable for marine, medical, and food processing applications, where maintaining a high level of hygiene and resistance to corrosion is necessary.
Straining Bolts
Straining Bolts, or tension control bolts, are designed for use in structural steelwork to maintain tension after installation. They are critical in construction projects involving steel frameworks, ensuring structural integrity by keeping steel beams tightly in place. These bolts are indispensable in high-rise building construction and large, structural installations.
U-Bolts (Galv)
Galvanized U-Bolts are versatile fasteners shaped like the letter U with threads on both ends. These bolts are commonly used for attaching pipes, tubes, or other round-shaped items to wood or steel posts. With their galvanized finish, these bolts are particularly suited for external applications in the construction, automotive, and marine industries where corrosion resistance is critical.
