Note
Safe Working Loads for the Hollo-Bolt are dependent upon the yield strength of the structural tube particularly with some of
the lighter sections. Safe working loads shown above have been determined through testing in material with mininum yield str
of 40 KSI. Use of steel with lower yield strength will result in lower safe working loads. The highest tensile figure given for
each bolt size is the safe working load of the Hollo-Bolt itself. Any lower figures against a particular size show that the mode o
failure in that case is the structural tube, rather than the Hollo-Bolt.
