Bolts & Washers

Bolts & Washers for Reliable Fastenings in Demanding Applications

Bolts and washers are integral components in structural fixings, heavy-duty applications, and critical installations. The right combination ensures strong clamping force, distributes load effectively, and prevents loosening under vibration. Hilti’s range of bolts and washers provides durability, high load capacity, and compliance with rigorous international standards, making them a trusted choice for professionals requiring consistent performance.

What Are Bolts & Washers?

Bolts and washers are mechanical fastening elements used to connect, secure, or assemble components in various substrates such as steel, concrete, or composite materials. The bolt head and washer work together to exert force, enhancing stability while reducing the risk of damage from high stress or vibration.

Key features of Hilti’s Bolts & Washers include:

• High-grade materials: Engineered from quality steel alloys to deliver exceptional tensile strength.
• Corrosion resistance: Protective finishes and stainless-steel options enhance longevity in harsh environments.
• Precise fit: Designed to ensure correct torque application and minimal wear during assembly.

Hilti bolt and washer systems stand out through:

• Optimised geometry: Exact thread designs and washer dimensions deliver strong clamping force.
• Versatile usage: Suitable for multiple substrates, including concrete, steel, and even challenging base materials.
• Easy, accurate installation: Tailored tools and support services simplify the fastening process, reducing downtime on-site.

Types of Bolts & Washers Available at Hilti

Hilti offers several types of bolts and washers, including:

Non-serrated T-bolts

Non-serrated T-bolts are suited for applications requiring consistent load distribution without aggressive bite. Their smooth underside allows ease of alignment in framing channels or on sliding assemblies while maintaining robust clamping force.

Notched T-bolts

Notched T-bolts incorporate a distinct groove or notch to enhance grip and prevent slip under dynamic loads. They are often deployed in environments experiencing vibration or shifting conditions, where heightened frictional resistance reduces the risk of loosening.

Serrated T-bolts

Serrated T-bolts feature a specialised serration beneath the head to bite into the washer or channel surface, creating a secure interlock. This design inhibits rotational movement, allowing the assembly to withstand intense mechanical stresses.
