Hot-Dip Galvanized Solar Mounting Hex Bolt Set



1. Product Overview
Chudu Metal Hot-Dip Galvanized Solar PV Mounting Hex Bolt is designed for structural connections in photovoltaic mounting and support systems.
The bolt is manufactured from carbon steel and protected by hot-dip galvanizing for outdoor corrosion resistance. It is suitable for connecting steel posts, beams, braces, C channels, purlins, base plates, connectors, and other structural components in ground-mounted and rooftop solar PV systems.
The bolt can be supplied individually or as a complete fastening set consisting of a hex bolt, hex nut, flat washer, and spring washer.
External hexagon head bolts are widely used for structural steel connections in solar mounting systems, while socket-head bolts are also used in certain rail, bracket, and pre-assembled connections. Solar mounting catalogs show commonly used structural fastener sizes including M10, M12, and M16, depending on the connection and load requirements.
Different diameters, lengths, strength grades, thread lengths, and washer combinations can be manufactured according to customer drawings and project requirements.
2. Key Features
Hot-Dip Galvanized Surface
The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion protection for carbon steel fasteners used in long-term outdoor photovoltaic mounting applications.
External Hexagon Head
The standard external hex head allows convenient tightening with common installation tools and is suitable for structural steel connections.
Complete Fastening Set Available
The product can be supplied as:
● Hex Bolt Only
● Hex Bolt + Hex Nut
● Hex Bolt + Hex Nut + Flat Washer
● Hex Bolt + Hex Nut + Flat Washer + Spring Washer
Flat washers and spring washers are commonly used in photovoltaic steel mounting assemblies where required by the connection design. Solar mounting catalogs include M10, M12, M14 and M16 washer/bolt combinations depending on the system.
Carbon Steel Construction
Carbon steel provides the mechanical strength required for structural connections in solar mounting systems.
Multiple Strength Grades
Different bolt grades can be supplied according to structural requirements, including commonly specified Grade 4.8 and Grade 8.8, with other grades available on request.
Full Thread or Partial Thread
Both fully threaded and partially threaded hex bolts can be manufactured according to the required connection.
Customized Dimensions
Bolt diameter, length, thread length, washer dimensions, nut type, and coating requirements can be customized.

4. Common Sizes for Solar PV Mounting
Common metric diameters used in photovoltaic mounting structures include:
M8
Suitable for selected lighter-duty brackets, small connectors, mounting accessories, and system-specific connections.
M10
Commonly used for solar mounting brackets, C-channel connectors, braces, rail-support connections, and other medium structural connections.
M12
Widely used for structural connections between posts, beams, braces, brackets, ground screw connections, and steel support components.
M16
Used for heavier structural connections where larger bolt diameter and higher connection capacity are required.
Actual bolt size must be determined according to the structural design. Commercial solar mounting catalogs show M10, M12 and M16 fasteners in different ground-mount structural positions rather than one universal size for the complete system.
5.Available Bolt Standards
Chudu Metal can manufacture hot-dip galvanized hex bolts according to different international and customer-specified standards.
Common options include:
- DIN 931– Hexagon Head Bolt, Partial Thread
- DIN 933– Hexagon Head Bolt, Full Thread
- ISO 4014– Hexagon Head Bolt, Partial Thread
- ISO 4017– Hexagon Head Bolt, Full Thread
- Customized Standards
- Drawing-Based Non-Standard Bolts
Matching hex nuts, flat washers, and spring washers can also be supplied as complete fastening assemblies.
6.Bolt Set Configuration
A typical photovoltaic structural fastening set can include:
1 × Hot-Dip Galvanized Hex Bolt
Provides the main structural connection.
1 × Hot-Dip Galvanized Hex Nut
Matched to the bolt thread and strength requirements.
1 × Flat Washer
Helps distribute the clamping force over the surface of the connected steel component.
1 × Spring Washer
Can be supplied when required by the mounting-system design to provide a locking washer arrangement.
The exact washer arrangement should follow the project drawing and engineering specification rather than being treated as mandatory for every photovoltaic connection.

Hot-Dip Galvanized
Hot-dip galvanizing provides a protective zinc coating suitable for outdoor photovoltaic steel structures.
The galvanized coating requirement can be customized according to customer specifications, project environment, and applicable standards.
Because hot-dip galvanizing adds coating thickness to threaded parts, bolts and nuts should be manufactured and matched with the galvanizing process in mind to ensure proper thread engagement.
