Hi,
I have just installed some 203x203x46 kg steels beams for my loft which require bolting together as beam to beam connections (not splices) with 8.8 bolts, the steel company has only supplied one washer per nut and bolt, which goes the nut side, my concern is the bolt head side - not having a washer - why would they not have supplied one for that ? must I assume that is normal practice.
Thanks
