BoxBolt expansion bolt

An expansion bolt connecting steel structural sections

BoxBolt is a fully tested and approved blind fixing solution for connecting to hollow section steelwork or where access is restricted to one side only. The fixing is suitable for use with rectangular, square and even circular hollow sections. BoxBolt features a design that aids installation with a standard spanner but also allows it to be installed with our unique BoxSok installation tool for when installation time needs to be kept to an absolute minimum.

BoxBolt® is a steel connection used to bolt 2 steel beams together (or other steel structures), when access is restricted to one side. It is an easy to install and safe solution.

Our fixing is available in three finishes; Zinc Plated for the less aggressive environments, Hot Dip Galvanised for the more aggressive environments and Stainless Steel for the most arduous of applications. These finishes, combined with three lengths of BoxBolt, make it extremely flexible to suit its environment and application.

If you're looking for quality box bolts or hollow bolts for steel, then look no further. BoxBolt Is a reliable and sturdy option that you can trust for your next construction project. With BoxBolt, you can be confident that you're using a fully approved and tested blind fixing solution that will do the job correctly the first time.

A faster way with BoxSok

To tighten down a BoxBolt, an installer must typically use 2 wrenches to install one bolt - one to hold the outer sleeve stationary, and one to turn the inner bolt.

The BoxSok adds simplicity to the installation process. Attached to a regular socket wrench (air powered makes this a snap), it takes the place of both wrenches. The BoxSok has an outer piece that will hold the sleeve of the BoxBolt stationary, while an inner piece turns the bolt. This makes what would have been a 4 minute job (per bolt) into a 30 second job.

Some specification considerations

Clamping range

The clamping range of the BoxBolt connector is the combined thickness of the steel being connected and the steelwork being connected to. Each diameter of the BoxBolt connector has three overlapping lengths designed to accommodate a wide range of material thicknesses. If your clamping range exceeds those stated above, special lengths are available.
