ForgeFix Roofing Bolts M6 x 30mm Zinc Plated Bag 25

Introducing the Forgefix Double Slotted Roofing Bolt, a reliable and versatile fastener designed for a multitude of applications beyond roofing. Engineered to provide secure connections, these bolts are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, thanks to their bright zinc plated finish that enhances corrosion resistance. This durable coating ensures that the bolts can withstand various weather conditions without the risk of rusting, making them a long-lasting solution for your fastening needs.

Product Features

- Design: The Forgefix double slotted roofing bolts feature a low profile, cross slotted mushroom head, which allows for easy installation and a neat appearance. The fully threaded design provides maximum grip and holding power when joining products.

- Compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, these bolts are particularly useful when traditional roofing methods are not feasible. They can be employed to join various materials securely.

- Installation: For optimal performance, it is recommended to use a clearance drill size that is 1mm larger than the bolt diameter. This ensures a proper fit and ease of installation, preventing any damage to the materials being joined.

- Zinc Coating Benefits: The bright zinc plating serves to prevent the oxidation of the metal, creating a longer-lasting finish. This protective layer acts as a barrier against corrosion and can also function as a sacrificial anode if any damage occurs. Interestingly, unlike iron oxide, zinc oxide forms a fine white dust that does not compromise the surface integrity of the substrate. When left intact, it can even provide further protection against oxidation, akin to the protective layers found on aluminium and stainless steel.

Usage Recommendations

When utilizing slotted screws or bolts, it is essential to select an appropriate screwdriver. A slotted screwdriver must have a tip that matches the width of the screw slot to avoid damaging the screw head. Slotted screwdrivers are available in two types: Flared and Parallel. While the Flared tip is generally suited for regular applications, a Parallel tip screwdriver should be used when it is necessary to drive the bolt below the material's surface.

The Forgefix Double Slotted Roofing Bolt, with a weight of 0.57 pounds, comes with matching square nuts, making it a complete fastening solution for your projects. Whether constructing a roof, fastening materials in exterior environments, or any other application requiring reliable connectivity, these roofing bolts provide the strength and longevity you need.
