BZP ETA Throughbolts

Bright Zinc Plated ETA Throughbolts

These CE-marked throughbolts have an Option 1 European Technical Approval making them suitable for safety-critical applications in both cracked and non-cracked concrete.

ETA Throughbolts achieve good loads and are quick and easy to install. They have the advantage of being through fixings with the drill size being the same diameter as the anchor. They are simply hammered into the hole and tightened to draw the cone into the expansion clip. Throughbolts are a type of torque-controlled anchor used in concrete, once fixed they expand, they rely on friction and must be installed using a torque wrench. Overall, they are a high-performance anchor that are relatively inexpensive.

Torque Wrenches

BS 8539 stipulates that anchors should be tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque settings.
This will ensure that anchors are consistently set to achieve the maximum load and the anchor material is not over-stressed.
