Product Description

The L H DOTTIE CO MB5166 is a 5/16 inch-18 hex head tap bolt measuring 6 inches in length. This fastener features a coarse thread pitch of 18 threads per inch and a standard hex head drive, making it compatible with common wrenches and nut drivers used in trade work. Tap bolts are fully threaded along the entire shank, allowing them to thread directly into tapped holes or be used with a nut. This style of fastener is commonly installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors where a secure, full-thread connection is required in hardware and accessory applications.

The MB5166 is suited for general hardware and accessory installation tasks in both residential and light commercial settings. Its 5/16 inch-18 thread pattern is a widely used standard in mechanical and structural fastening applications. This bolt is sold individually and is appropriate wherever a 6 inch, fully threaded hex head fastener in this thread size is specified.
