Carriage Bolt & Nut ZP M8 x 110mm Bag 10

These Forgefix Carriage Bolts, also known as Coach Bolts or Fully Threaded Cup Square Hex Bolts, are designed to provide reliable fastening solutions for timber-to-timber applications. Ideal for various construction projects, including timber joist construction in house building and decking installations, these bolts are specifically engineered to ensure a secure and stable connection.

Product Features

- Zinc Plated: The zinc coating offers excellent corrosion resistance, preventing oxidation and extending the lifespan of the bolts. This protective layer forms a barrier on the metal surface and acts as a sacrificial anode, reducing the risk of rust and degradation.

- Fully Threaded: Each bolt is fully threaded up to 100mm, enabling robust fastening capabilities. This design allows for deeper engagement with the nut, enhancing the bolt's holding strength.

- Complete with Hex Nut: Each package includes a hex nut, ensuring that users have everything they need for effective assembly without the hassle of sourcing additional components.

- Square Section: The design features a square section beneath the domed head. This square shape grips into the timber, preventing the bolt from rotating during the tightening process, making it easier to achieve a secure fit.

Applications

These carriage bolts are particularly useful in various woodworking and construction contexts:

- Timber-to-Timber Fastening: Primarily used for joining wooden elements, they provide strength and stability, making them ideal for building frameworks.

- Decking Applications: Their robust construction makes them suitable for securing decking boards to support beams or joists.

Structural Integrity

The carriage bolt’s design includes a domed or countersunk head, which offers a neat finish and reduces the risk of snagging. The short square section beneath the head provides a strong grip, effectively preventing movement when the nut is tightened, thereby ensuring the integrity of the entire structure. For applications requiring fastening to metal parts, a rib neck variant is available, featuring longitudinal ribs that enhance grip in metal materials.

Compliance with Standards

These bolts conform to DIN 603 and DIN 934 standards, ensuring that they meet stringent quality and safety regulations. This compliance guarantees users that the fasteners are manufactured to a high standard of quality.

In conclusion, the Forgefix Carriage Bolts combine durability, functionality, and ease of use, making them an essential choice for both DIY enthusiasts and professional builders. Their versatile applications and robust design make them an ideal solution for various timber construction needs, ensuring lasting performance in every project.
