Frequently Asked Questions

What are Zinc Hex Sets Fully Threaded bolts?
Zinc Hex Sets Fully Threaded bolts are high-quality fasteners with threads running the entire length of the bolt. The zinc coating offers excellent corrosion resistance, making them perfect for a wide range of industrial and outdoor applications.

Why are Zinc Hex Sets better for outdoor use?
The zinc coating acts as a protective layer, preventing rust and corrosion, which is essential for outdoor and exposed environments. These bolts are ideal for use in construction, machinery, and automotive applications.

Can these bolts be used in high-stress environments?
Zinc Hex Sets are designed for general to medium-stress applications. For very high-stress or critical load-bearing requirements, we recommend opting for bolts made from higher tensile materials such as stainless steel or grade 10.9 bolts.

What sizes are available for Zinc Hex Sets Fully Threaded bolts?
We offer a wide range of sizes to suit various project needs. If you can't find the size you're looking for, please get in touch with us, and we will assist you in sourcing the right bolt.

How do I choose the right size of Zinc Hex Set bolt?
To select the correct size, ensure you match the thread diameter, length, and material strength with your project specifications. If you're unsure, our team is available to guide you in choosing the best size.

Are these bolts compatible with other fasteners?
Yes, Zinc Hex Sets are compatible with a wide range of other fasteners, including nuts and washers, as long as the sizes and thread pitches match. Always ensure proper compatibility for a secure, reliable fit.

How can I place an order for Zinc Hex Sets Fully Threaded bolts?
Simply select the desired size and quantity on our website and proceed to checkout. If you need any help, feel free to reach out via email or phone.

What is the difference between Zinc and Self Colour fasteners?
Zinc-coated fasteners have a protective layer that enhances corrosion resistance, making them ideal for outdoor and exposed applications. Self Colour fasteners, however, are untreated and have a natural finish, offering minimal rust protection, making them best suited for indoor, dry conditions.

What’s the difference between Zinc and A2 stainless steel bolts?
Zinc-coated bolts provide a cost-effective corrosion-resistant solution for general use, especially in dry or outdoor environments. A2 stainless steel bolts, however, offer superior corrosion resistance, particularly in marine or chemical environments, making them ideal for more demanding applications.

What’s the difference between Zinc and A4 stainless steel bolts?
A4 stainless steel bolts offer the highest corrosion resistance, especially in harsh environments such as coastal or chemical applications. While Zinc-coated bolts are effective against rust, A4 stainless steel bolts provide unmatched durability in extreme conditions.

What is the difference between Zinc and Galvanised bolts?
Galvanised bolts are coated with a thicker layer of zinc through a process called hot-dip galvanisation, providing superior corrosion resistance compared to standard zinc-coated bolts. Galvanised bolts are ideal for use in more aggressive environments, such as areas with heavy exposure to moisture or chemicals. Zinc-coated bolts offer good protection in milder environments but are less durable than galvanised bolts in harsh conditions.
