BlindBolt - Changing the Way for Specifiers

A simple yet ingenious solution for blind fixing applications, Blind Bolt is a high-performance constructional cavity fixing covering both horizontal and vertical applications. The simplicity of Blind Bolt makes it an ideal choice for fixing to steel sections where access is restricted or when working at height.

Owlett-Jaton is the Master Wholesaler for Blind Bolt across the UK and Europe.

Independently SCI assessed, Blind Bolt brings exceptional qualities to the market and is changing the way architects, specifiers, builders, and engineers alike approach their designs. With three different ranges available they are widely utilised throughout the construction industry in hollow sections, girders and beams, masonry support systems, as well as cladding and facades.

The Complete Range

The only true removable blind fixing available for structural connections, Blind Bolt does not require an oversized hole and can also be installed in just a standard hole clearance. It is a high performance fixing with a product range of M8 to M30 in diameter and manufactured in high tensile Steel. For applications requiring a high degree of protection, a Geomet 500 finish offers approximately 1000 hours of salt spray protection. Certain sizes are also available in A4 Stainless Steel.

In addition, the heavy-duty version features an expanding base and unique pin locking mechanism, has a higher tensile strength than the standard Blind Bolt, and guarantees fast installation with no special tools required. Developed to address the need for a shorter blind fixing, with improved performance, it is the ideal fixing solution between heavyweight steel sections. Employing a simple activation method designed to reduce installation time and expense; a hammer and spanner are all that’s required. The HD range is also available in Geomet 500 and A4 Stainless Steel.

The thin wall bolt was developed to address the need for a blind fixing to be used in a lightweight steel sheet or cladding material. After installation, a neat low profile head is left with no stud. The thin wall bolt has a strong shear capacity and is available in A2 Stainless Steel, or with a zinc electroplate finish for excellent protection.
