Ductwork Fasteners
Reliable fixings are fundamental to a safe, airtight, and durable ductwork installation. Alpha Air supplies the complete range of nuts, bolts, washers, screws, and rivets used by ventilation engineers and sheet-metal workers throughout the UK.
Our Fastener Range
Flange Bolts and Nuts
M6 and M8 hex-head bolts with matching flange nuts for assembling rectangular ductwork flanges. Supplied in zinc-plated mild steel for corrosion resistance. Available in various lengths to suit different flange thicknesses and gasket arrangements.
Self-Tapping Screws (Tek Screws)
Self-drilling, self-tapping screws that pierce and thread into galvanised steel duct walls without the need for a pilot hole. The most common fixing for securing spiral duct joints, attaching brackets, and fixing accessories. We stock 4.2×13 mm (No.8 × ½″) hex-head tek screws in bulk packs — the industry-standard size for ductwork.
Pop Rivets (Blind Rivets)
Aluminium or steel rivets for permanent fastening where a screw head would protrude into the airstream or where a flush exterior finish is needed. Applied with a standard rivet gun from one side of the joint. Common sizes are 4.0 mm and 4.8 mm diameter.
Washers
Flat washers, spring washers, and penny washers in zinc-plated steel. Used under bolt heads and nuts to distribute load, prevent loosening from vibration, and protect the galvanised duct surface from damage during tightening.
Bulk and Trade Packs
We sell fasteners in practical quantities for trade users — boxes of 100, 200, 500, and 1000. Ordering in bulk alongside your ductwork and fittings saves time and money compared to buying small packs from a general hardware supplier.
Corrosion Protection
All our standard fasteners are zinc-plated to match the galvanised duct they are securing. For stainless steel ductwork installations or marine/corrosive environments, we can supply A2 (304) or A4 (316) stainless steel fasteners to prevent bimetallic corrosion at the fixing point.
