■ Assembly
Fasteners for single (plain and slotted) and back-to-back channel
supplied separately
Fixing brackets to Swiftrack channel
Standard fasteners for Swiftrack are high tensile hexagon head
setscrews to BS 3692-8.8, these being zinc plated to BS 3382 : Part 2
Most standard Swiftrack brackets are made from 5 or 6 mm gauge steel
The use of too long a fastener will prevent proper tightening because
the bolt end will foul the bottom of the channel before the head tightens
down on the fitting
When fastening brackets other than Swiftrack, longer bolts may be
required if the bracket thickness is greater than 8 mm

Use M10 x 16 mm high tensile hexagon head setscrews
