the
Heavy Duty Bolt
The Heavy Duty Bolt, known as the HD Bolt, was developed as a shorter blind fixing which would offer improved performance when the shear plane being fixed falls across the legs of a standard Blind Bolt
The HD Bolt represents the optimum fixing solution when dealing with heavy weight steel sections. The unique pin locking mechanism and expanding base combine strength with a simple activation process. The only tools necessary are a hammer and spanner, rather than the specialist equipment required when using alternative products. This means that using the Heavy Duty Bolt saves on installation time and expense.
Advantages of the HD Bolt:
- Quick and simple installation
- No requirement for an oversized hole
- 1000 hours of salt spray protection provided by Zinc Flake 1000Hr SSP coating
- Makes any assembly more efficient
- Unique pin locking facility

HEAVY DUTY BOLT
Testing Data Explained
The unique and innovative design of the HD Bolt means that certain specific criteria need to be met in order for it to be applied successfully.
Using these criteria means being aware of the way in which the dimensions of each bolt are measured, and these details are set out below.
The image above also offers a pictorial representation of each term. If you still have any questions, please get in touch with us using the contact details at the bottom of the page or by sending us an email by clicking here.
The minimum fixing thickness is the figure applied to the minimum distance which each bolt is able to fix.
The overall thickness of the materials being clamped is the figure used to make this calculation.
The maximum fixing thickness is the figure applied to the maximum distance that each bolt is able to clamp.
The overall thickness of the materials being clamped is the figure used to make this calculation.
The depth clearance refers to the minimum space required within a cavity wall for the legs on the HD Bolt to deploy effectively.
The measurement has to be noted with great care when fixing into Steel Hollow Sections in order to make sure that the bolt doesn’t reach as far as the opposite section wall before being correctly installed.
The shear strength over thread is the force needed for the bolt to fail if the shear plane produced by the materials being clamped together falls over the threaded section of the bolt.
The tensile strength of a HD Bolt is the pull-out force needed for the bolt to fail when a tensile load is acting upon it.
