AustriAlpin 12mm glue-in

These bolts are made from beefy 8mm grade 304 stock and milled down to 6mm on the legs and placed in a 9/16″ hole. AustriAlpin docs call for a 14mm hole and 9/16″ is approx. 14.25mm. Glue-in bolts are the only bolt type where you can substitute an approximate metric or imperial hole for the given bolt.

Bolt Products twisted-leg glue-in

Simple, strong, smart. Designed to be installed incorrectly and still meet EN standards the 12mm twisted-leg bolts test out to 40kN and the larger 16mm at just shy of 80kN. We have two different batches of these bolts. A first batch of 50 12mm bolts were donated by the American Safe Climbing Association and are 304 stainless steel. A second batch of 125 12mm bolts was purchased with AAC/AF/local donation funds and are made of 316L stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance. These bolts have been specially re-designed by the manufacturer to offer a wider interference fit to accommodate the .7mm larger 1/2″ hole vs the 12mm hole the bolt was originally designed for.
