Description
These Forgefix Carriage Bolts are designed with a zinc plating to provide ideal solutions for timber-to-timber joining. Understanding the specific needs of construction and DIY projects, these bolts feature a unique structure that facilitates secure fastening, particularly in timber joist construction and decking applications. Each bolt is complete with a hex nut and boasts a fully threaded length of 100mm, making them versatile for various construction tasks.
Design and Features
Known as 'Cup Square Hex Bolts', the head of a carriage bolt is typically domed or countersunk. Underneath this head is a short square section, a design element that is crucial for preventing the bolt from turning during the tightening process. This functionality is particularly important when working with wood, as it ensures a stable connection without the bolt spinning. For applications involving metal, a rib neck carriage bolt, featuring longitudinal ribs instead of the square section, is recommended to enhance grip.
Standards and Compliance
Forgefix Carriage Bolts conform to DIN 603 and DIN 934 standards, assuring users of their quality and reliability. These standards ensure that the bolts meet stringent performance criteria, making them suitable for both professional builders and enthusiastic DIYers.
Applications
The primary use of these carriage bolts is for fastening timber to timber, making them a popular choice in house building and various decking projects. The design effectively grips into the wood, thereby providing a secure hold that is essential for structural integrity in constructions.
Corrosion Resistance
The zinc plating on these bolts plays a vital role in enhancing their longevity. Zinc coatings are known to prevent oxidation of the protected metal, creating a barrier against corrosion. In the event that this barrier is compromised, the zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, preventing the underlying material from degrading. Notably, zinc oxide, which may develop as a fine white dust, does not compromise the surface integrity like traditional iron oxide. When left undisturbed, this zinc oxide layer provides an additional barrier against further oxidation, akin to the protective oxide layers seen on aluminium and stainless steel.
Weight and Manufacturer
Each package includes multiple carriage bolts, adding to the convenience for buyers. Weighing approximately 2.73 pounds, these bolts are easy to handle during installation and transport. Manufactured by Forgefix, a reputable name in the construction industry, users can trust in the quality and durability of these carriage bolts for their building projects.
In summary, Forgefix Carriage Bolts offer a reliable and efficient solution for a variety of timber joining needs, combining innovative design, corrosion resistance, and compliance with industry standards for optimal performance.
