FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
Insert bolt into
predrilled hole
with marker
pointing up.

STEP 3
Secure bolt
with supplied
flange nut.

STEP 2
Rotate bolt
a half turn.

**We strongly recommend the use of our safety gauges when installing these Blind Bolts

WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM TORQUE SETTINGS. ENSURE

ANCHOR IS IN THE FULLY OPEN POSITION BEFORE APPLYING
TORQUE OR THE PIN WILL SHEAR.
Shear strength was determined across the threaded area. Should the shear
plane fall below the minimum fixing thickness (across the hollow section)
shear strength will be reduced and must be recalculated. Performance data
listed is the ultimate failure load. BLIND BOLT North America recommends an appropriate factor of safety when incorporating the Blind Bolt
products into your application. Additional testing available upon request.

BLIND BOLT NORTH AMERICA offers a wide range of

standard sizes, and as always, we welcome special sizes.

The Thin Wall (TW) Bolt range is designed to clamp thin wall steel applications in any location. After installation, a neat low profile head
is left, with no stud. The bolt has strong shear capacity and the tensile strength is the same as the clamping bolt. These bolts come
with a standard Zinc and Yellow Passivate finish.

APPLICATIONS
Safe, Quick and Easy installation
for hundreds of blind-sided
installation applications!
Railway

Construction

The anchor system was used to tie mast climber

work platforms into tubular steel, making onsite
welding unnecessary. Blind Bolts therefore were
faster and easier to install, saving time and money.

Blind Bolts have achieved certified acceptance as a

high-performance fixing solution for installing AWS
units onto steel railroad ties.

Scaffolding

Marinas

Blind Bolts being used for holding critical masonry,

and scaffolding.

Blind Bolts are ideal for many marine fixing appli-

cations including harbors, mooring points, etc...

Blind Bolts save both

time and expense!
