The Forgefix Nyloc hexagon nut is a fastener that incorporates a nylon component to effectively lock the nut into position on the bolt. The nylon component has a smaller inside diameter than the actual nut. This locks the nut in place by squeezing the nylon firmly around the bolt when tightened. Unlike a standard locking washer, the Nyloc nut prevents the nut from loosening under vibration as the nylon is tightly wedged into the bolt threads and provides resistance to turning when tightened. The nuts are zinc-plated for increased resistance to corrosion. Their hexagonal shape is designed to be driven by a wrench (spanner) and provides excellent torque when done so. APPLICATION:Where a permanent fastening is required and loosening must be prevented by movement or vibration.Can be used on most bolt products including HT Bolts, Carriage Bolts, Threaded Rod etc. 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 aluminum and stainless steels by their oxide layers.Hexagon Nut & Nylon Insert ZP M8 Bag 100

These Forgefix Flat Mudguard Washers have a large 50mm outside diameter. They are bright Zinc Plated for increased corrosion resistance. 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. 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.

These Forgefix Rimmed Expansion Wall Plugs are made from 100% Nylon. They rest on the surface of the base material and are particularly useful when the depth of the base material is not known. Sprung anti-spin fins provide a two-way lock, preventing spinning and loosening from overhead applications.Due to the precise two-way expansion, the plugs are suitable for close to edge applications. APPLICATION:Ideal for both lightweight and medium-duty fixing applications. Often used for satellite dish installation.Suitable for all types of threaded screws, including multi-purpose, general purpose, coach screws etc. Not suitable for machine screw threads.Nylon Wall Plug Rimmed M6 x 30 Bag 100

These Forgefix Socket Screws have a raised head, and are designed for attaching electrical wall sockets and switches. The screws have a slotted head and are nickel plated for increased durability. APPLICATIONUsed specifically for attaching electrical wall socket and switches to back plates. The Nickel plating process coats mild steel or stainless steel to considerably prolong the part’s life. Nickel plating is probably the most corrosion resistant finish available and is often used on socket screws for electric switch sockets avoiding corrosion and cross contamination. It leaves a bright aesthetic finish and is extremely hardwearing. 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 needs to be driven below the material surface a Parallel tip screwdriver should be used. Raised heads have both countersunk and raised structure which is designed for aesthetic purposes on all types of ironmongery and lighting applications.Socket Screw Slotted Raised Head Nickle Plated 3.5 x 25mm Bag 100

These Forgefix Spring Lock Washers ring-shaped, split at one point and bent into a helix. This shape means that the washer exerts a spring force between the fastener's head and the base item. The main purpose of the Spring Washer is to prevent loosening of the fastener by either movement or vibration.These washers are bright zinc plated for increased corrosion resistance. APPLICATIONIdeal for all manner of bolting applications where movement or vibration may cause loosening. Typical examples would be engineering and machinery.Can be used with all types of bolts and nuts. 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.

These Forgefix Masonry Anchor Projection Bolts have a Zinc Yellow Passivated finish for increased durability and resistance to corrosion. They have a tough and reliable construction to cover most heavy-duty fixing applications. The four-way expansion shield offers extremely strong and secure anchorage, and the specially manufactured retaining spring ensures encapsulation of the wedge during expansion. Projection bolts offer easier fixture removal or repositioning due to the bolt remaining in the shield. APPLICATION:Ideal for securing reinforcement wall plates, lighting supports, guy ropes and bracketry.Ensure the correct socket drive or spanner is used to ensure accurate installation. When sizing a Masonry Anchors it is most important to know the depth of the material that you are fixing.Eg: Size M610: The 'M6' is the thread size of the bolt. The '10' denotes the maximum thickness of material it will fix. The Zinc Yellow Passivation process of electroplating is similar to the ‘Galvanised’ and ‘Zinc Plated’ processes but with the addition of a yellow dye. It provides a coating that is aesthetically pleasing, and which offers excellent resistance to corrosion.Masonry Anchor Bolt Projecting Zinc Yellow Passivated M8 x 60 Bag 10
