J Bolts

J-Bolts for Anchoring Steel Structures

J-bolts are L- or J-shaped threaded fasteners embedded in concrete to secure columns, beams, and other structural elements. At Steel & Prefabs, our steel J-bolts are engineered for maximum load-bearing capacity and long-term durability, ensuring safe and stable connections between steel frameworks and foundations.

Improperly sized or installed J-bolts can compromise an entire structure. This is not negotiable.

Why J-Bolts Matter

J-bolts transfer structural loads from steel columns or base plates into the concrete foundation. Proper installation and high-quality steel ensure:

• Secure anchoring of columns and beams

• Resistance to shear, uplift, and bending forces

• Long-term structural stability

• Accurate alignment during construction

A foundation fastener is the first line of defense for your building. Compromise here is catastrophic.

Engineered for Load and Safety

Our foundation J-bolts are manufactured to strict standards and selected based on:

• Thread size and diameter for intended loads

• Bend shape and hook depth for concrete grip

• Material grade for tensile strength

• Corrosion resistance for longevity

This ensures that every bolt fully transfers loads from steel structures to foundations safely.

Common Applications

J-bolts are widely used in:

• Anchoring steel columns in prefabricated buildings

• Securing beams to concrete foundations

• Industrial warehouses and factories

• Mezzanine floor supports

• Heavy machinery base anchoring

J-bolts are coordinated with base plates, anchor plates, and fasteners to maintain structural integrity.

Safety Is Not Optional

A J-bolt that bends or pulls out under load is a structural failure waiting to happen. Only properly sized, high-strength J-bolts deliver the safety your building needs.

If you need J-bolts in Kenya for foundations, columns, or industrial structures, Steel & Prefabs supplies engineered fasteners built to handle real loads.
