RICON® S is available in five sizes with six different collar bolt variants to meet all connection requirements for wood, steel, and concrete:
The „welded collar bolt“ covers 90% of applications and there’s even an XL variant available.
For projects with lower load capacities, the „screwed collar bolt“ is the cost-effective choice.
The „adjustable collar bolt“ and „S80 adjustable collar bolt with insert screw“ can handle tolerances up to 5 mm, perfect for timber structures and wood-concrete hybrids.
And for assembling sturdy walls, the „collar bolt with spring“ is recommended. Just push it inward until it snaps into place against its counterpart.
