FAQs

What size hole do I drill for an M16 throughbolt?

Drill a 16mm hole straight through the fixture into the concrete, to a minimum depth of 75mm. Clean the hole out before inserting the bolt.

How tight should I torque it?

The recommended tightening torque at M16 is 100 Nm. If no torque wrench is available, tighten the nut 3 to 4 full turns from finger tight.

Can I use throughbolts in brick or block?

Throughbolts are designed for solid concrete. For brick, block or weaker masonry use a shield anchor or a chemical anchor.

Are they suitable for outdoor use?

These are bright zinc plated for internal, dry conditions. For external or damp locations use a galvanised or stainless steel anchor.
