Through-Bolts
EJOT UK offers a comprehensive range of through-bolts, a type of heavy-duty fastener also known as a threaded anchor, designed for reliable anchoring in various materials. These anchors are widely used in the construction industry for securing structural components, steelwork, and machinery to solid substrates. They function by being inserted through a pre-drilled hole in both the fixture and the base material—be it masonry, stone, or concrete—before being tightened to create a secure, expansion-based hold.
The mechanism of a through-bolt involves a bolt with a tapered end and an expanding sleeve anchor. As the bolt is tightened, the tapered end is pulled into the sleeve, causing it to expand and exert a strong clamping force against the walls of the drilled hole. This expansion creates a secure, high-load-bearing anchor.
EJOT's range includes high-quality safety through bolts that are engineered to meet strict performance standards, providing peace of mind for structural and safety-critical applications. To suit different environmental conditions, these fasteners are available in various finishes. For interior, low-corrosion environments, a zinc plating offers adequate protection. For outdoor or more aggressive conditions, a galvanised finish provides enhanced resistance to rust. In environments requiring the highest level of corrosion protection, such as coastal areas or those exposed to chemicals, stainless steel through-bolts are the ideal choice. The use of these different materials ensures that the correct anchor can be selected for the specific application, maximising both safety and durability.
