Through-Bolts
EJOT UK's range of through-bolts is extensively used in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) applications due to their reliability and ease of installation. These fasteners, also known as threaded anchors, are designed to provide a secure and high-load-bearing connection for various installations. They are typically used for fixing heavy-duty components like pipework, ducting, cable trays, and ventilation systems to a variety of substrates, including concrete, masonry, and stone.
The installation process is straightforward: a hole is drilled through the fixture and into the base material, and the throughbolt is then pushed through. The sleeve anchor at the end of the bolt expands as the nut is tightened, creating a strong friction-based interlock within the material. This torque-controlled expansion ensures safety through a bolt that holds firm, even under dynamic loads.
To meet the diverse needs of MEP environments, EJOT offers its through-bolts in various materials and finishes. For dry, interior conditions, a zinc or galvanised finish provides sufficient corrosion resistance. However, in more aggressive environments, such as those with high humidity or chemical exposure, stainless steel through-bolts are essential. Stainless steel, particularly the A4 grade (316), offers superior protection against rust and degradation, ensuring the long-term integrity of the installation. This range of options allows engineers and installers to select the correct fastener for the specific environmental conditions of each project, guaranteeing a safe and durable solution.
