Bright Zinc Plated ETA ThroughboltsThese CE-marked throughbolts have an Option 1 European Technical Approval making them suitable for safety-critical applications in both cracked and non-cracked concrete.ETA Throughbolts achieve good loads and are quick and easy to install. They have the advantage of being through fixings with the drill size being the same diameter as the anchor. They are simply hammered into the hole and tightened to draw the cone into the expansion clip.
