Rothenberger - Threaded rod for concrete M12x20 length 160mm - FF35129

Rothenberger M12x20 Threaded Rod for Concrete

The Rothenberger M12x20 threaded rod for concrete (item code FF35129) represents a professional solution for structural fastenings in construction and plant engineering applications. With a nominal length of 160 mm, this fastening element is specifically designed to ensure secure and durable anchors in concrete, even under high load conditions.

Technical Features

The M12x20 threaded rod is made of high-strength steel, with an anti-corrosion surface treatment that guarantees its durability even in humid environments or those exposed to atmospheric agents. The M12 diameter (12 mm) and 20 mm thread pitch offer the right balance between mechanical resistance and ease of installation. The nominal length of 160 mm allows for applications in various concrete thicknesses, always ensuring optimal anchoring.

Main Applications

This fastening element is used in numerous professional contexts:

• Installation of load-bearing structures in construction
• Mounting of industrial machinery on concrete foundations
• Fixing of hydraulic systems and piping systems
• Anchoring metal structures to concrete walls or floors
• Installation of railings, stairs, and walkways
• Mounting of air conditioning and ventilation systems
• Fixing of solar panels and other structures on concrete roofs

Advantages of the Fastening System

Rothenberger threaded rods for concrete offer numerous benefits compared to other anchoring systems:

• High load capacity in both tension and shear
• Resistance to vibrations and mechanical shocks
• Possibility of disassembly and reuse (unlike chemical systems)
• Quick installation without waiting times for hardening
• Resistance to chemical and atmospheric agents
• Compatibility with different types of concrete
• Adaptability to various anchoring depths

Installation Instructions

To get the best performance from the Rothenberger M12x20 threaded rod, it is recommended to follow these steps:

• Drill a hole in the concrete with a 14-16 mm drill bit (follow manufacturer's specifications)
• Thoroughly clean the hole from dust and debris
• Insert the threaded rod into the prepared hole
• Use a two-component epoxy resin or specific cement mortar if required by installation conditions
• Wait for complete hardening before applying load
• Use appropriate washers and nuts to distribute the load evenly

Compliance and Certifications

Rothenberger threaded rods are manufactured in compliance with European standards for building materials. The product complies with EN 1992-4 standards for structural anchors in concrete and has CE marking, thus guaranteeing compliance with the essential safety requirements provided by EU directives. This fastening element has undergone rigorous tests for mechanical resistance and durability, ensuring reliable performance even in the most demanding conditions.

Maintenance and Durability

Thanks to the anti-corrosion treatment, the Rothenberger M12x20 threaded rod requires minimal maintenance. In particularly aggressive environments, periodic inspection of the state of preservation and any retightening is recommended. The expected lifespan, under normal conditions of use, exceeds 25 years, making this fastening system a cost-effective solution in the long term.
