APPLICATION:
Used in many applications other than roofing, when joining products together.
Use clearance drill sizes 1mm larger than bolt diameter.

Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish. It does this by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not trigger a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. The zinc oxide, if left intact, can act as a barrier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminium and stainless steels by their oxide layers.

With slotted screwdrivers it is important to ensure that the tip matches the width of the screw slot, otherwise you run the risk of damaging the screw head. Slotted screwdrivers are available with either Flared or Parallel tips. For the majority of uses the Flared tip is ideal but if the screw/bolt needs to be driven below the material surface a Parallel tip screwdriver should be used.

Conform to DIN 603 and DIN 934 standards.

Available in a comprehensive range of sizes to suit most applications.

APPLICATION
Used mainly for fastening timber to timber and is extensively used for timber joist construction in house building and numerous decking applications.

A Carriage Bolt, also known as a Coach Bolt or as a ‘Fully Threaded Cup Square Hex Bolt’, has a domed or countersunk head, and the shank is topped by a short square section under the head. The square section grips into the part being fixed (typically wood), preventing the bolt from turning when the nut is tightened. A rib neck Carriage Bolt has several longitudinal ribs instead of the square section, to grip into a metal part being fixed.

These Sitemate Carriage Bolts are Zinc Plated, and ideal for timber to timber joining. They come complete with a hex nut and are fully threaded to 100mm. Also known as ‘Cup Square Hex Bolts’, the square underneath the Cup stops rotation of the bolt when tightening.

Conform to DIN 603 and DIN 934 standards.

Washers provide a smooth surface for the nut or bolt to bear on, making it less likely to loosen as a result of an uneven fastening surface. The main purpose of a washer is to distribute the load under a bolt head or the nut face.

APPLICATION:
On all manner of bolting applications.
Can be used with all types of bolts and nuts.

Gripple Twisters provide a quick and simple solution for securing tail wires neatly at the end of a fencing or structural run. Designed as a twist-to-fit product, they keep wire tails safe, tidy, and discreet, offering a neat appearance that blends into the background.

Suitable for 2mm and 3mm line wire, Twisters are ideal for agricultural fencing, trellis systems, vineyard lines, orchard layouts, and general wire management. They create a safer and more professional finish by preventing protruding wire tails from snagging or catching.

Supplied in a pack of 100, Gripple Twisters offer an easy and effective finishing touch to any tensioned wire installation.

The Gripple Torq Tensioning Tool is a wire tensioner tool that regulates the load applied to it, delivering consistent results and maximising the life of your wire. Ideal for wire fence tensioning and wire trellising tensioning.

• Allows tensioning of wire up to 400 kg with minimal effort due to the 6:1 gear drive mechanism
• Whether tensioning fence wire or trellis wire rope for anchoring systems, the Torq Tensioning Tool will work on all Gripple units up to a 6 mm diameter
• The integral torque gauge controls the load applied to the wire, giving consistent tension every time and optimising the life of the wire
• Measure from 100 kg to 300 kg
• Easy to use and lightweight for repetitive tensioning                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            See below our Tornado Wire data sheet                                                                                                     Gripple Torq Tensioning Tool
