Hex bolts, also known as hex cap screws or machine bolts.
Choose the type of hex bolt you are looking for.
Standard bolts --- A standard bolt has a hex head and a smooth shoulder area beyond the standard amount of threading. Shorter lengths are fully threaded.
Steel grade 2
Zinc plated low carbon steel. Best for general hardware use where high strength is not required. |
Steel grade 5
Made from medium carbon steel, tempered and zinc plated. Best for automotive use and other areas where higher strength is desired. |
Steel grade 8
Made from medium carbon alloy steel, tempered, and zinc plated. Best suited for applications where high strength and hardness is required. |
Stainless steel 18-8
Stainless steel 18-8 is an alloy of steel with high corrosion resistance. Stainless has become the material of choice for exterior and most marine applications. |
Silicon Bronze
Bronze is an alloy of copper with greater strength and corrosion resistance than brass. Most commonly used in wood boat building and restoration. |
Hot dipped galvanized
Hot dipped galvanized fasteners are much more corrosion resistant than zinc plated fasteners. Due to the thickness of the galvanized coating, galvanized bolts will only work with galvanized nuts. For exterior and coastal area use. (ASTM A153) |
Grade 5 chrome
A grade 5 fastener with a bright mirror-like finish providing sharp looks for a variety of applications. |
Full thread tap bolts |
|---|
Tap bolts are fully threaded hex head bolts.
Steel grade 2
Zinc plated low carbon steel. Best for general hardware use where high strength is not required. |
Stainless steel 18-8
Stainless steel 18-8 is an alloy of steel with high corrosion resistance. Stainless has become the material of choice for exterior and most marine applications. |
