There has recently been an increase in the use of structural hollow sections as columns<\/strong> in multi-story construction projects. This increase is due to the aesthetic, economic and structural performances<\/strong> that these hollow sections can provide for for engineers. The only downfall to this type of construction is the inability to access the interior of the sections to allow for the tightening of a standard bolt. Due to this, there was a need to develop a blind fastening solution that will ensure a structurally sound connection<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The BoxBolt\u00ae<\/a> is a convenient & reliable blind fastening solution for connecting to hollow sections of steel or where access is restricted to one side only.<\/em><\/strong> The BoxBolt\u00ae<\/a> is fully tested and approved for us with rectangular, square and even circular hollow sections<\/strong>. Featuring a hexagonal head design, that aids in the installation process. The hex head allows it to be held in place with an open ended wrench, while the core bolt is being tightened by a torque wrench. As the core bolt is being tightened, the threaded wedge is drawn up inside the body, expanding the fins, creating a secure connection.<\/p>\n *You can use the one piece accessory called the BoxSok\u2122 when installation time is at a premium.<\/strong><\/p>\n Available in (3) finishes: Zinc Plated for less aggressive environments, Hot Dip Galvanized for the more aggressive environments and Stainless Steel for the most demanding of applications. Available in (3) lengths, making BoxBolts extremely flexible to suit its environments and application needs.<\/p>\nThe Original BoxBolt\u00ae<\/a><\/h2>\n
