Hook Bolt ALPAR M16 L-160 Zinc-Plated — model S301, threaded shank

ALPAR hook bolt M16 L-160 (model S301) is a zinc-plated fastener with an M16 threaded shank and an overall length of 160 mm. Designed for anchoring and suspension tasks, this hook bolt combines a threaded connection with a curved hook termination to allow secure attachment of cables, chains, or fixtures. The zinc plating offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for many indoor and sheltered outdoor applications.

Advantages

The hook bolt provides a reliable mechanical connection through its M16 threaded shank and full-length body, enabling secure screwing into compatible nuts or anchor fixtures. Its zinc-plated surface reduces the risk of surface corrosion in non-aggressive environments and simplifies maintenance. The hook termination facilitates quick hooking and unhooking of loads while maintaining a firm hold under tension. The product is produced to standard dimensions for straightforward compatibility with common fasteners and fittings.

Suitable for

• Suspending light to medium loads such as lighting fixtures, signs, or cable trays
• Attaching chains, ropes, or straps in timber or metal structures where a hooked end is required
• General anchoring where a threaded connection and hook termination simplify installation

Key specifications

• Thread size: M16
• Overall length: 160 mm
• Material finish: zinc-plated
• Termination type: curved hook

How to use

Select an appropriate mating nut, threaded anchor, or pre-tapped hole compatible with an M16 thread. For through-fixing, pass the threaded shank through the material or anchor and secure with a nut tightened to the recommended torque for the application. For use in timber or softer materials, pre-drill a hole of suitable diameter and depth to avoid splitting; use washers or backing plates as needed to distribute load. The hook termination is intended for hanging or securing items; ensure the load is applied along the axis of the shank and does not exceed the safe working load of the assembly.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the installed hook bolt is used within the load limits appropriate for the chosen anchor, base material, and environmental conditions. For outdoor or corrosive environments, consider additional corrosion protection or a stainless-steel alternative. Regularly inspect connections for signs of wear, deformation, or corrosion and retighten or replace components as needed.
