How does the DISC-LOCK Rapid Tension System work?

The DISC-LOCK Rapid Tension System has built in tensioning parameters thereby creating the most reliable connection at the lowest cost, rather than relying on installation equipment or the proficiency of the operator. 

Product Traceability

DISC-LOCK has taken the commitment of product traceability to the highest level.  Rapid Tension structural bolts have the lot identification marked on the head of each and every bolt.  DISC-LOCK has completely taken the worry out of traceability with our total commitment to product quality and verification.

If verification of traceability is required after installation of Rapid Tension structural bolts, simply look at the head of the bolt and match the lot identification to the certification documents.
