PATENTED ONESIDE™ STRUCTURAL

BLIND FASTENING SYSTEM

APPLICATIONS:
Any structural application where access to other side of the joint is not possible.
• Hollow member construction
• Gas tanks
• Building and Architectural systems
• Composite construction
• Plant and machinery

FEATURES:
• Develop full structural strength of the bolt
• Full shear capacity of the hole, full tension capacity of the
bolt
• Sizes M6 and up
• Complies with AS1252 requirements
• Available in PC 4.6, 8.8, 10.9, 12.9
• Simple installation method
• Ability to re-adjust, re-tighten and re-use.
BENEFITS
• Reduced onsite labour requirements compared to welding
• No skilled labour required
• Ability to develop full structural capacity
• High damping added to the structure
• Simple and small installation system
• Elegant, simple, robust and economical
• Suitable for earthquake and dynamic applications

DESIGN LIMITATIONS
• Larger hole size in the joint
• Slightly larger minimum bolt length requirement
• Minimum cavity space length requirement

Example:
For a M16 bolt tightening a joint of thickness (grip length) 20 mm will require;

Hole Diameter = 24 (from the table below)

Minimum length of the bolt = 20 +34 (from the table below) = 54mm
Minimum thread length = 54 (bolt length) – 20 (grip length) = 34mm
Minimum cavity space behind the joint = 20 + 80 (from the table below) = 100mm

Tightening Procedure:

1. Place the assembled bolt onto the installation tool and slide the nut and outer
washer along the tool (Fig 1).

2. Fold the collapsible washer in the thin area of the installation tool (Fig 2). Guide the
bolt and the collapsible washer through the pre-drilled hole of the joint.

Figure 2
3. Rotate the installation tool to unfold the collapsible washer (Fig 3). Pull back the
installation tool and locate the collapsible washer against the back of the joint.

Figure 3

4. Slide the solid washer and the nut on the bolt and finger-tighten the nut (Fig 4).

5. Remove the installation tool from the joint, use a rattle gun or other means to
tighten the nut to the desired tension (Fig 5).

Figure 5

6. If spinning of the bolt is observed during tightening, position the Torque End of the
installation tool onto the bolt to stop spinning whilst tightening the nut (Fig 6).

IMPORTANT NOTE:
• The thin area at the Insertion End of the tool is not designed for any tightening
purpose. After the finger tightening the nut, the tool should be taken off for further
mechanical tightening.
