FAQ about Nuts and Bolts

What are nuts and bolts?

Nuts and bolts come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are made of different materials. However, they are all used to fasten to a material such as a metal or a wood to secure the material in place. Nuts are considered the female part of the pair while the bolt is considered the male part of the pair. The bolt has a head connected to a cylindrical body that is threaded, whilst the nut also has internally grooved threads, enabling the secure fastening of the nut to the bolt. To prevent water ingress and other issues when securing a material, nuts and bolts are usually joined together by penny washers, which are flat and round in shape.

Where can I buy nuts and bolts?

You can buy bolts and nuts from a variety of places, including hardware stores. However, for a fast and efficient shopping experience, it is recommended that you buy your materials from an online nuts and bolts shop such as Ducting Express. We have a variety of shapes and sizes in stock, each one perfectly tailored to meet your unique construction or other needs.

Although there are different types of nuts and bolts, the criteria mentioned here are the most common ones that are used in the industry.
