Lindapter®, the steelwork connection specialists, invented the Hollo-Bolt® as a fast, cost effective connection for Structural Hollow Section (SHS). The ‘blind connection’ technique requires installation access to only one side of the steel section for exceptional convenience.
In comparison to alternative methods such as welding, a Hollo-Bolt connection can be quickly installed by simply inserting the fastener into pre-drilled holes and tightening with a torque wrench.
Power tools, such as an impact wrench, may be used to speed up the tightening of the Hollo-Bolt. However, when using power tools, always complete the tightening process with a torque wrench to ensure the correct torque is applied to the Hollo-Bolt.
