What is a Hollo Bolt?
Hollo-Bolt™
ICC-ES approved expansion bolts that require installation access to only one side of the Hollow Structural Section. All products in this range are quickly installed by inserting the fastener into a pre-drilled hole and tightening with standard hand tools.
Can Hollo bolts be removed?
The Hollo-Bolt Flush Fit however cannot be removed once it is installed.
What are hollow bolts called?
Also known as jam set screws, these lock other screws in place, hold pins, and adjust spring tension.
Why are hollow bolts used?
Cutting Access and Holes
A Hollo-Bolt eliminates the need to side-cut a slot for access to a nut. This way, the aesthetics of the job are preserved, and the job gets done a lot faster, with a stronger hold.
What is a box bolt?
Box Bolt – is an expansion bolt for structural steel connections to hollow section steel or where there is a “blind connection,” where you only have access to one side of the connection.
What are hollow bolts used for?
Where are hollow bolts used?
Lindapter cavity fixings provide a simple, cost-effective solution when fixing to rectangular or circular hollow section steel, or to steelwork where access is available from one side only. They are ideal to use with any steel structures and eliminate the requirement for using unsightly welding or strapping.
How does a box bolt work?
What does HSS stand for in bolts?
steel hollow structural sections
Connecting to steel hollow structural sections (HSS) from a single side has troubled engineers for decades. However, there are now numerous types of fasteners and connection methods for this increasingly popular structural material, other than the norm of welding.
What are blind bolts used for?
As you would expect from the name, you can use a blind bolt to create a fastening from one side through pre-drilled holes without having to access the other side to complete the lock. A blind bolt consists of three things, a steel pin, a collar and a sleeve.
What does LG mean on bolts?
LG: Grip length (distance from head to full threads) on screws. LH: Left-hand thread. Lockwasher: A washer that is not completely smooth or flat, designed to prevent a nut from loosening, placed under the nut on a screw or bolt.
Is Grade 8 or 10.9 stronger?
Class 10.9 is stronger than class 8.8. It is commonly found in high strength automotive applications. Class 10.9 is similar to grade 8. A low carbon steel for general use.
Can you remove blind bolts?
Blind Bolt Removal
Push the blind bolt further into the fixing hole. Hand twists the blind bolt to retract the anchor into the body of the bolt. This allows the bolt to be removed from the fixing hole.
What are HD bolts?
The Heavy Duty Bolt (HD) is a shorter blind fixing which provides improved performance when the shear plane of the materials being fixed falls across the legs of a standard Blind Bolt. A HD Bolt is the perfect solution when heavy weight steel sections need to be fixed in place.

The number 1.0 is the thread pitch of the bolt, which is the distance between threads, in millimeters. And the final figure, 20, is the length in millimeters.
What is the strongest bolt grade?
Grade 9 Bolts
Grade 9 structural bolts, also known as grade 9 hex cap screws, are one the strongest structural bolts that can be used today. While the typical grade 8 bolt has a tensile strength of 150,000 PSI, a grade 9 bolt has a tensile strength of 180,000PSI.
What are 10.9 bolts used for?
Grade 10.9 metric bolts are manufactured using medium carbon steel, medium carbon steel alloy and low carbon boron steel that has been quenched and tempered. Used in automotive applications and for bolting large and forged parts, metric 10.9 bolts exhibit high tensile strength and good wear resistance.
What is a jo bolt?
