Description
These Forgefix Carriage Bolts, also known as Cup Square Hex Bolts, are expertly designed for reliable timber-to-timber joining applications. Ideal for various construction projects, including timber joist assembly in house building and decking installations, these bolts feature a sturdy zinc plating that enhances their resistance to corrosion and oxidation.
Design and Functionality
The construction of a Carriage Bolt is distinctive, featuring a domed or countersunk head, with a short square section just beneath it. This square neck is what sets it apart, as it grips the material being fastened—typically wood—not allowing the bolt to rotate during tightening. This design ensures a secure fit, making it easier to apply significant torque when fastening. An alternative version, known as a rib neck Carriage Bolt, incorporates longitudinal ribs that improve grip in metal applications.
In this particular package, each bolt is fully threaded to a length of 100mm, providing ample grip for even the thickest of timber boards. The included hex nut complements the bolt design, allowing for straightforward installation and ensuring the bolt's stability once tightened.
Corrosion Resistance
The zinc plating on these bolts is a critical feature as it forms a barrier against rust and corrosion. This protective coating acts as a sacrificial anode, safeguarding the underlying metal from exposure to moisture and other damaging elements. In the event of any damage to the zinc layer, zinc oxide will form, which, unlike iron oxide (rust), does not compromise the integrity of the underlying surface. This exceptional resistance to oxidation extends the lifespan of both the bolts and the structures they support.
Compliance and Versatility
Conforming to DIN 603 and DIN 934 standards, these Forgefix Carriage Bolts guarantee quality and reliability. Available in a wide range of sizes, they are suited for most applications in construction and woodworking. Their design makes them particularly effective for fastening timber to timber, making them an essential component on construction sites and in personal projects alike.
Weight and Packaging
Each bolt weighs approximately 1.63 pounds and comes packaged in a convenient bag containing five units. This packaging facilitates easy storage and access, whether you're stocking up for a large project or just need a few for smaller jobs.
Whether you are a professional contractor or a DIY enthusiast, Forgefix Carriage Bolts provide the durability, functionality, and corrosion resistance necessary for successful timber connections. Their thoughtful design and robust construction make them an indispensable choice for your fastening needs.
