HANGER BOLTS: PURPOSE AND FEATURES OF USE

USING THE solar bolts

     Special solar bolts are used for reliable fixing of panels on the roof or the ground, ensuring the optimal angle of inclination, resistance to external influences and efficient collection of solar energy for electricity generation. 

 

AREAS OF APPLIance

     Hanger bolts are commonly used in the field of renewable energy and solar energy. The main area of ​​their application is the installation of solar panels on the roofs of buildings, structures or the ground to generate electricity using solar energy.
     Some of the main applications of solar bolts include:

• Roofs of buildings: Solar bolts are used for mounting solar panels on the roofs of residential buildings, commercial premises, industrial structures and other objects. This allows efficiently use of free space on the roof for solar energy generation.
• Solar farms: Large solar power plants, where hundreds or even thousands of solar panels are placed on the ground, can use studs to mount them and ensure the optimal angle of inclination of the panels.
• Commercial buildings: Business centers, warehouses, stores and other commercial buildings can install solar panels to generate some or all of the electricity they need. Hanger bolts help ensure stable and safe fixing of panels.
• Residential Homes: Homeowners can also install solar panels on their homes to reduce energy costs and contribute to greenest energy.
• Industrial facilities: Factories, factories and other industrial facilities can use solar panels to fulfill their own electricity needs and reduce outlays.
• Farms: Farms can use solar panels to power supply pumps, lighting, and other needs.
• Outdoor Installations: Hanger bolts can also be used to mount solar panels on the ground, open areas, or anywhere where there is a need for efficient solar energy collection.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF Solar bolts

Dimensions

 

     The sizes of solar bolts can variate greatly depending on the manufacturer, type of panel, mounting method, and other factors. However, here are some general guidelines:

• Diameter: Normally, the diameter of a pin can range from 8 mm to 16 mm or more.
• Length: The length of the pin also depends on the specific installation conditions. It can be from several decimeters to several meters. It is important to consider the thickness of the material to which the panel will be attached, as well as the requirements for reliability and safety.
• Threading: Hanger bolts can have different types of threading depending on the fastener being used.
• Tilt: Some bolts have the ability to adjust the angle of the panels to ensure optimal solar energy collection.

  Manufacturing material

   

       The choice of material depends on the requirements for strength, corrosion resistance and terms of use in the external environment. The selected material must meet the requirements of resistance to ultraviolet radiation, temperature changes, aggressive atmospheric conditions and ensure the durability of solar panel mounting.
       The Dinmark assortment includes a wide range of hanger bolts with various coatings and manufacturing materials: 

• ART 9082 Screw-screw combined (hanger bolt)
• ART 9211 Screw-screw combined (hanger bolt)

Mechanical properties

 

The mechanical properties of solar bolts are of great importance for their reliability and stability. Bolts are generally required to have high strength to withstand loads including the weight of the solar panels and possible wind loads. Rigidity and resistance to deformations help to ensure stable fastening of panels for a long time. Appropriate mechanical properties guarantee the reliability of the solar panel mounting system and their long-term functionality..

 

Types of coatings

 

     Coatings for solar panel mounting studs have an important role in providing resistance to corrosion, wear and tear and ensuring long-term performance. One of the popular options is galvanic coating, which protects against corrosion.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE USE OF hanger bolts

     In the process of performing installation work using hanger bolts, manufacturers of fastening products suggest taking into account a few simple recommendations:

• The facing of the surface of the base (tile, plaster layer) is a non-bearing base, therefore the strength of the attachment of the part is provided only by the base material.
• For aerated concrete and hollow building materials, it is necessary to perform additional anchoring of the holes by introducing solidifying mixtures into them.
• The strongest fastening will be if the sharp end of the hanger bolt is in the hole deeper than the end of the spacer part of the dowel by the size of its diameter.

 

 

METHODS OF INSTALLATION OF solar bolts

     Let's consider how this product can be used. Its use is due to the very configuration of the bolt – it has a different thread on each side. On the one hand, there is a metric thread, and on the other, a lag thread, as on a screw. Often, hanger bolt is used together with a dowel - in this case, the coarse thread is screwed into the dowel in the wall, we hang the part, for example, a plumbing "tulip", and fasten it with a nut. A hanger bolts are usually used in plumbing works to fasten pipes, clamps, sinks, toilets and other plumbing products.
    Various options are available for screwing the hanger bolt– an internal hexagon on the metric side, a hexagon or a square between the threads for an angle wrench or with a torx slot for quick installation using a special hand tool.

     In addition to pins with metric and lag threads, there are also pins with lag threads on both sides - these pins are screwed on one side into a tree or a plastic dowel, and usually a wooden part is wound on them. They are usually made only in thread sizes of 8 and 10 mm.
