Lindapter becomes the first to gain approvals

Lindapter is delighted to announce the full ICC-ES seismic approval for the Hollo-Bolt, giving Engineers, Architects and Contractors additional confidence in specifying the popular connection for Structural Hollow Section (SHS). The Hollo-Bolt has recently become the first blind fixing for structural steel to attain full seismic approval from North Americas leading evaluation service, ICC-ES based in California. The ICC-ES Evaluation Report ESR 3330 provides evidence that Hollo-Bolt meets I-code requirements and resists wind loads and seismic loads in Seismic design categories A through to F, proving that Lindapter is at the forefront of product development. The Hollo-Bolt was also the first to attain the CE Marking, which followed a thorough and independent assessment of Lindapters Factory Production Control System and a detailed analysis of the Hollo-Bolts performance. In addition to being the first expansion bolt to achieve CE Marking and ICC-ES full seismic approval, Hollo-Bolt is the only expansion bolt that is featured in the BCSA/SCI Green Book connection manual Joints in Steel Construction: Simple Connections as a primary structural connection. Hollo-Bolt Hexagonal, Flush Fit, Countersunk and Button/Security head variants in lengths 1, 2 and 3 are covered by the European Technical Approval (ETA) 10/0416. The Hollo-Bolts wide product range provides specifiers with a connection solution to suit many applications. For instance, Lindapters patented Flush Fit Hollo-Bolt offers an aesthetic finish, particularly suited to Architects.
