HANG FIX inox M8L (ØM8x78) - A316L

art. 122

 

Stainless steel AISI 316L bolt, long type (M8x78).

Ideal for caving or cave rescue use.

Features two expanding collars, making it particularly suited for anchors in hard limestone.

For particularly hard rocks (such as quartzite, granite) it is recommended to use the art.VE251 8X75 mm (click here!)

In the M8 bolts, the classic nut and washer have been replaced with a single M8 flanged nut thus negating the laborious use of the small and easily-lost washer.

This allows the plate to be well tightened on a larger surface area.

In addition, this almost eliminates the natural loosening of the nut.

Note: The article can be supplied with the previous model’s classic nut and washer on request and at no additional cost.

The expanding collar is a new design and has greatly improved on the previous version.

The design phase focused on creating a technology which ensures expansion on an increased number of surfaces.

Our tests show that this objective has been achieved.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The material used in the majority of our anchors is now stainless steel AISI 316L, which offers a higher resistance to marine corrosion than the former AISI 304.

To highlight this change each article is stamped with the relevant symbols.

However, certain bolts have not been branded as once in place, the symbols would be invisible.

On bolts however, this would be invisible once the bolts have been placed so instead a small circular collar has been added  to mark the difference between the two metals.

This allows verification of the type of bolt used at any time.
