The nuts and bolts sets provides a reliable fastening solution for mechanical, structural, and general assembly applications. Available in BZP (Bright Zinc-Plated) steel and stainless steel, these fasteners offer strength and corrosion resistance to suit both indoor and outdoor use.
Each set includes 4 hexagon head bolts (threaded or part-threaded to DIN931 specification), 8 washers, and 4 matching nuts, ensuring a secure, balanced connection with even load distribution. Suitable for use in construction, pipe brackets, supports, and equipment mounting, this kit is a staple for any trade or maintenance toolkit.
How Do Nuts & Bolts Work?
Nuts and bolts form a mechanical fastening system designed to securely join two or more components. The bolt is a threaded shaft with a head, while the nut has an internal thread that matches the bolt’s.
When the bolt is inserted through aligned holes in the materials being joined, the nut is threaded onto the bolt’s end. As the nut is tightened—typically using a spanner or socket—it draws the materials together, creating a strong clamping force.
For enhanced performance:
- Washers are often added to distribute the load and prevent damage to the surfaces.
- Threaded or part-threaded bolts provide different engagement lengths based on structural needs.
- The grip strength depends on bolt diameter, thread pitch, torque, and material compatibility.
This fastening system is widely used due to its reliability, adjustability, and ease of removal for maintenance or disassembly.
What Is Bright Zinc Plating?
Bright Zinc Plating (BZP) is a corrosion-resistant surface coating commonly applied to steel fasteners and fittings. It involves electroplating a thin layer of zinc onto the metal, followed by a brightening treatment that gives the surface a shiny, silver-like finish.
Key Characteristics of BZP:
- Corrosion Resistance: Zinc acts as a sacrificial layer, protecting the steel beneath from rust—ideal for indoor or dry environments.
- Bright Finish: A smooth, reflective coating that also enhances appearance.
- Low Cost: Economical alternative to stainless steel for general-purpose fastening.
- Conductive Surface: Suitable for electrical applications that require grounding.
While BZP provides good resistance in mild environments, it's not suitable for marine or highly corrosive applications - stainless steel is preferred in those cases.
