Lindibolt 2

               

The Lindibolt 2 is a self heading bolt suitable for making connections to cavity steel structures
in similar applications to the Hollo-Bolt but where the specific nature of the application precludes
the Hollo-Bolt’s use. For example where there is limitation on the size of hole which can be
drilled (the Lindibolt requires a smaller hole than the Hollo-Bolt) or where a wider fixing thickness
is required.

Note 1: Tensile loads shown are based on tests carried out in BS EN 10025:1993 Grade S275JR
plate and have a Factor of Safety of 5 (on pullout).

Note 2: Single Shear loads are based on tests carried out in BS EN 10025:1993 Grade S275JR
plate and have a Factor of Safety of 5 on shearing of the Lindibolt, providing that the plates have
a higher bearing value.

Installing the Lindibolt  2 There are 6 steps to installing the Lindibolt, detailed below. These guidelines refer to the diagram at the top of the page and the loads and dimensions table above. Step 1. Drill clearance hole (Z + 1mm) through connection plates. Step 2. Measure the total thickness of the plates to be connected (X) and set the Nut (C) at the distance of (X + Projection P). Tighten Locknut (D). Step 3. Insert the Lindibolt through the pre-drilled holes, cone end first. Step 4. Using a spanner to hold Nut (C), to prevent rotation, tighten Setscrew (F) to correct torque. The cone (A) will be drawn up inside the Lindibolt Body. Step 5. Loosen off Locknut (D) and tighten Nut (C) to recommended torque to secure the plates. Step 6. Secure by tightening Locknut (D) to recommended torque. Torque and Spanner Sizes
