Features of the M8x25 mm carriage bolt

The M8x25 mm carriage bolt is made from high-quality steel and complies with the DIN 603 standard. Thanks to the electrolytic galvanization, this bolt is highly resistant to corrosion, which significantly extends its lifespan.

Specifications

• Diameter : M8
• Length : 25 mm
• Strength class : 4.6
• Material : Steel
• Surface treatment : Electrolytically galvanized
• Standard : DIN 603

Applications

This carriage bolt is particularly suitable for various wood constructions, such as:

• Canopies
• Conservatories
• Gates

The square section under the rounded head prevents turning while tightening the nut, ensuring a firm and secure fastening.

Advantages

• Corrosion resistant : The electrolytic galvanization provides good protection against rust.
• Easy installation : The square part under the head prevents turning while tightening the nut.
• Versatile use : Suitable for various wood constructions.

Installation advice

For optimal fastening, it is recommended to drill a hole that is 1 mm larger than the diameter of the bolt. For an M8 carriage bolt, use a 9 mm drill. Use a rubber hammer to drive the bolt into the wood so that the square part clamps firmly into the wood and prevents turning.

Maintenance

Although the electrolytic galvanization provides good protection against corrosion, it is advisable to periodically check the bolts for any damage to the zinc layer. Damage can reduce corrosion resistance.

Alternatives

For use in damp environments or exposure to the elements, it may be worthwhile to consider stainless steel carriage bolts. Stainless steel is less strong than galvanized steel but offers higher resistance to rust formation.

Packaging

These carriage bolts are supplied in sets of 200 pieces, including matching nuts, so you can get started on your project right away.
