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.

The Starlock® push-on fastener in itself is a precision pressing and is designed for applications where a quick, permanent and efficient means of assembly is required to retain plain shafts of steel, non-ferrous and plastic materials. They eliminate costly threading and grooving operations, facilitate rapid assembly, and once fixed in position, are so secure that they cannot be removed without destruction.
