Armco Fixings

To fix your Armco installation together, you will need Armco Fixings, which include nuts, bolts, washers, and floor anchors of varying sizes. Without the proper fixings, your barrier will not be as strong as it should be and won't offer the protection it should. The most commonly required fixings are lap bolts; these galvanised bolts secure beam sections together along with ends and corners. Post bolts are used to secure beams to posts, and anchor bolts can be used to bolt posts down to concrete surfaces.

About Armco Fixings

Armco safety barriers are high-quality corrugated steel barriers designed to withstand and deflect high-speed impacts, protect motorists from entering hazardous areas at speed, or protect infrastructure from damage. Our Armco crash barrier fixings are used for every part of the process, installing our range of Armco barriers as securely as possible. This includes installing the barrier to the road itself and connecting components of the system together in a strong, lasting way.

Our Armco fixings are perfect for installing Armco barriers on roadsides, car parks, loading bays, and any environment that requires a robust barrier system. Our lap and post nuts, bolts, and washers are all hot-dip galvanised, making them resistant to environmental wear and tear for an extended lifespan. Choosing reliable and long-lasting fixings reduces the need for frequent replacements, ensuring a more cost-effective solution over time.

Use our durable fixings for peace of mind with the stability and effectiveness of your Armco barriers, and reduce the risk of a barrier failure during impacts.

Lap Bolts

To attach corrugated steel Armco beams to their ends, the correct set of nuts, bolts, and washers is needed. Eight of these bolts are required per end.

Post Bolts

The correct nut, bolt, and washer set is needed to attach Armco beams to vertical posts. One set is required per post.

Ground Anchors

This fixing is designed to bolt down an Armco barrier post to the ground - four of these are needed per each post.

Plates

Specific fixings and fasteners are needed to connect the box beam Armco barrier parts. Fish plates connect box beams together, and clamp mounting plates mount the box beams to posts.

Choosing the Right Armco Barrier Fixings

Consider the following factors when choosing the best high-visibility accessories for your needs:

Durability

All our Armco parts and fixings are made from galvanised steel, while some anchor bolts are zinc-plated. This ensures long-lasting weather, corrosion, and abrasion resistance. Consider environmental factors like salinity and the weather when deciding on what fixings to use to put together your Armco kit.

Correct Quantity

To ensure you have the correct number of fixings of each type for your specific installation, calculate the number of posts and joints you will need and work from there. • 8 lap bolts per lap joint. • 1 post bolt per post. • 4 anchor bolts per bolt-down post. If you need help calculating the number of joints and posts needed, give us a call!

Compatibility

Consider if you need any specialised fixings such as wall mount brackets or mounting plates. Check your Armco barrier system's sizes and specifications to ensure the fixings are compatible. All our fixings are compatible with standard Armco barriers.
