M16 × 50mm Grade 8.8 Galvanized Hex Bolts
M16 × 50mm Grade 8.8 galvanized hex bolts are high-strength structural fasteners designed for reliable bolted connections in steel structures, fabrication, machinery, equipment installation, and general construction. The bolts feature a standard M16 metric diameter, 50mm nominal length, and Grade 8.8 strength classification, making them suitable for applications requiring higher tensile and shear strength than standard low-strength bolts.
The galvanized finish provides improved resistance to corrosion, making these bolts suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, particularly in construction environments where exposure to moisture and weather can occur.
Key Specifications

Applications
M16 × 50mm Grade 8.8 galvanized hex bolts are commonly used for:
- Steel structure connections
- Structural steel fabrication
- Equipment and machinery installation
- Brackets and support frames
- Steel platforms and walkways
- General construction works
- Outdoor steelwork
- Mechanical and industrial assemblies
The Grade 8.8 classification makes these bolts appropriate for applications where dependable mechanical strength is required. When used in structural connections, the bolt should be selected and installed according to the project’s engineering specifications, including the required bolt grade, tightening requirements, hole diameter and connection design.
Why Choose Galvanized Grade 8.8 Hex Bolts?
The combination of Grade 8.8 high strength and galvanized corrosion protection makes these bolts a practical choice for demanding construction and fabrication applications. The hexagonal head allows installation using standard spanners or sockets, while the galvanized surface provides additional protection against environmental corrosion.
For steel fabricators, contractors and construction professionals in Kenya, M16 × 50mm galvanized Grade 8.8 hex bolts are useful for maintaining strong, durable and properly secured bolted connections.
