Long screw for cast iron grate with transverse crossbars ACO GALA G100 02042

Protection of cast iron grating against theft and accidental removal

The long screw for cast iron grating with transverse bars ACO GALA G100 (catalog number 02042) is a fastening element that ensures durable and secure attachment of the heavy grating to the channel. It is an indispensable component in linear drainage systems, where grating stability has both practical and safety significance.

Unlike standard screws, this version is specifically designed for the structure of cast iron gratings with transverse bars – it fits perfectly with the fixing bar (part number 00751) and creates a closed, difficult-to-disassemble assembly. It cannot be easily unscrewed without the appropriate tool, effectively preventing theft or accidental removal of the grating by unauthorized persons.

For the installer – simplicity and precision of installation

The M8x60 screw made of steel, compliant with standard PN-EN 1433:2005+A1, allows for quick and unambiguous mounting of a C250 class grating. Its length (60 mm) and diameter (M8) are precisely matched to the construction thickness – it does not exceed limits, does not strip threads in polymer concrete, and requires no additional inserts or washers. Installation is a one-step process: bar → screw → hex key. There is no need to use other solutions – this is an original ACO component.

For the end user – durability and safety

A cast iron grating on a sidewalk, courtyard, or road edge must not shift or become dislodged. Even under heavy pedestrian traffic or light vehicle loads – the screw keeps everything in place. This is not only protection against infrastructure damage but also prevention of potential accidents: an improperly secured grating poses a risk of tripping or loss of stability while walking.

All components of the ACO GALA G100 system – from the channel to the screw – are designed as a single integrated unit. There is no point in replacing the screw with another one – even if it looks similar. This screw works only with these bars and these gratings. And it operates flawlessly.
