Forgefix Carriage Bolts are an essential component for timber-to-timber joining applications, providing reliability and strength for various construction projects. Known also as Cup Square Hex Bolts, these bolts are designed with a unique construction feature: a square section beneath the domed head that prevents rotation while tightening, ensuring a secure fit. Each bolt comes complete with a hex nut, making installation straightforward and efficient.

Features and Specifications

- Zinc Plating: The Zinc plated finish offers enhanced resistance to corrosion, significantly extending the lifespan of the bolts by forming a protective barrier against oxidation. This zinc coating acts as a sacrificial anode, protecting the underlying metal and enhancing durability.

- Threading: The bolts are fully threaded up to 100mm, allowing for versatility in various applications, providing sufficient grip and stability during fastening.

- Standards Compliance: These carriage bolts conform to both DIN 603 and DIN 934 standards, ensuring quality and reliability that meet industry norms.

Applications

The Forgefix Carriage Bolts are extensively used in timber joist construction, making them a popular choice in house building and for various decking applications. Their design allows for effective fastening between wooden components, making them particularly suited for joinery where stability is crucial.

Design

A typical carriage bolt features a domed or countersunk head with a short square neck that grips into the wood being fastened. This gripping feature is vital as it prevents the bolt from turning when the hex nut is tightened, ensuring a strong connection. For applications requiring fastening to metal components, a rib neck version of the carriage bolt is available, featuring longitudinal ribs specifically designed for enhanced grip in metal.
