Product Code: MD-CVT-0006

This product is also known as a channel bolt. It is widely used in electrical panels and can be paired with a flange nut in 6×12, 6×15 and 8×15 mm sizes. Its broad, flat head distributes clamping load over a larger area and secures the component firmly to the surface. ## What Is It Used For? It is used for assembly and fixing. The wide head spreads the load and provides strong grip. Applications include furniture manufacture, automotive assembly, construction, electrical panels, ventilation systems and cable-tray fabrication. ## Features - **Wide Head:** The broad, flat head increases contact area and improves load distribution and clamping force. - **Range of Sizes:** Various diameters and lengths can be produced for different applications. - **Durable Materials:** Iron, stainless steel, zinc-plated steel and other durable materials may be used to support wear and corrosion resistance. ## Frequently Asked Questions - **What is a channel bolt?** A fastener with a wide, flat head for general assembly work. - **Which materials are used?** Iron, stainless steel and similar durable materials. - **Where is it used?** Construction, ventilation, electrical work, cable-tray systems, machinery and furniture assembly. - **What is its purpose?** Fixing components together and assembling metal, timber or plastic parts. - **How does it differ from a standard bolt?** Its head is wider and flatter, seats more effectively and increases the contact area. - **Which sizes are available?** Common dimensions are 6×12, 6×15 and 8×15 mm, with other lengths and thread options available according to need. - **How is it installed?** Tighten in a controlled manner with a suitable spanner, socket or screwdriver matching the head. - **What thread form is typical?** It is generally produced with metric thread. - **What should be considered?** Select the correct size, use suitable material quality and apply the correct torque without overtightening.
