The Huck C6L
®
The classic 6-groove locking fastener built with staying power.
A result of Huck International innovation a half-century ago, the versatile Alcoa
Fastening Systems & Rings C6L® HuckBolt® remains the number one fastening
system for applications that require a strong, vibration-resistant seal today.
C6L’s exclusive locking groove design ensures a permanent fit that
resists loosening. That means it’s ideal for applications from general
manufacturing to such high-vibration applications as HVAC, trailer and
container assembly, rotary and rotating equipment, shopping carts, railroad
and transit cars, geodesic structures, and many others.
In addition to offering superior fastening performance, the C6L system
reduces labor and installation costs, along with rework and warranty
expenses. For example, using the C6L eliminates the need to hire
certified welders or specially trained employees, because workers can
be instructed to install these foolproof fasteners in a matter of minutes.
The C6L is simply stronger, easier to install, and more durable than
welding, adhesives, or conventional threaded fastening systems.
2
Installation Sequence
The C6L’s unique design virtually eliminates installation errors caused by operator or tool variables. The C6L ensures
that once the collar swage is complete, the pintail breaks off and the fastener is tightly installed. No rework required.
And you can count on consistent, high-uniform clamp force with every C6L installation, time after time.
1
The pin is inserted into the
prepared hole and the smooth bore
collar is placed on the pin.
2
The installation tool is applied to the
pintail. When the tool is activated, the
jaws in the nose assembly pull on the
pintail and the nose anvil pushes on
the collar to remove any gap.
3
4
The nose anvil starts to swage the
collar into the lockgrooves on the pin.
Continued swaging causes the collar
to lengthen and develop clamp.
When swaging of the collar into the
lockgrooves is complete, the pintail
separates from the pin which
completes the installation cycle.

Tapered Bore Anvil Tooling (99-3003 and 99-3006)
Should “A” or “B” dimensions exceed the given values, the fastener is out-of-grip. A “C” dimension less than the given value
indicates an incomplete swage. A “D” dimension greater than the given values indicates an incorrect or worn anvil on the
installation tool. “E” is the minimum length from the top of the collar to measure “D” diameter for tapered bore anvils.
