Our 10mm stainless steel bolt hanger – 3mm is currently the cheapest AISI 316L bolt hanger on the market. It is made of AISI 316L steel / A4 steel. On the other hand, it is 3mm thick. Consequently, the latch is very light. It weighs just 44 grams.
The great price-performance ratio and the low weight make the product particularly interesting for “private” developers. If you want to set up a climbing route with expansion bolt out of your own pocket, this is the right product for you! Especially if you want to work with highly corrosion-resistant AISI 316L / A4 steel. We have this product manufactured at the request of many developers. This makes it possible to bolt a climbing route of the highest quality even on a smaller budget!
10mm stainless steel bolt hanger – 3mm
Caution on climbing routes with a very high frequency or where there is a lot of falling. Here we recommend a bolt hanger with a thickness of at least 4 mm. These are much more stable and do not bend so easily.
As already mentioned, the bracket is particularly interesting for “private” developers. This is because it is the cheapest AISI 316L latch on the market. It complies with EN standard 795 2012, but not EN standard 959. breaking load is “only” 25kN and is therefore slightly below the required limit of 27kN.
Due to the lack of EN standard 959, the 10mm bracket is not suitable for climbing area construction or climbing area rebolting. Here we recommend the 4mm thick version made of AISI 316L steel. Firstly, it has the corresponding EN 959 standard and secondly, it has the lowest price of all our EN 959 standardized lugs. And thirdly, it is made of highly corrosion-resistant AISI 316L steel. This is the low-carbon version of AISI 316 / A4 steel.

Matching expansion bolt to the 10mm stainless steel bolt hanger 3mm
These two expansion bolt are the right ones for the 10mm hook lug. Firstly, the 10mm Fischer expansion bolt FBN II 10/10 A4. Secondly, the 10mm Fischer expansion bolt FBN II 10/5 K A4.
The combination of stainless steel bolt hangers with zinc-plated expansion bolt must be avoided at all costs! Because this creates galvanic corrosion. Not familiar with this yet? Then read our lead article “Galvanic corrosion at expansion bolt” to expand your knowledge.
Not suitable for bolting near the sea!
The 10mm stainless steel bolt hanger is not suitable for bolting near the sea. The A4 steel / AISI 316L steel does not meet the required corrosion class. In order to withstand the extreme chemical conditions in the medium to long term, products made of duplex steel are required as a minimum.
Perfect for bolting near the sea:
- glue in bolt made of titanium
- glue in bolt made of HCR steel
- injection mortar for use near the sea
