National Marker N232868 Zinc J Bolt 3/16 X 1-7/8 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MARKER N232868 is a zinc-plated J bolt designed for general fastening tasks in home and farm applications. Manufactured from steel wire with a zinc-plated finish, this J bolt measures 3/16 inches in diameter and 1-7/8 inches in length. Standard machine screw threads run the length of the shank, and a hex nut is included for immediate installation without additional hardware. This type of fastener is commonly installed by general contractors, maintenance technicians, and skilled trades workers wherever a reliable, corrosion-resistant anchor or tie-down point is needed.

The N232868 is suited for light-duty structural and utility fastening in residential and agricultural settings. Typical applications include securing conduit, pipe, or small structural members to wood framing or masonry. The 2195BC series designation identifies this as a catalog-standard component, making reordering and specification straightforward. Its compact size and zinc plating make it appropriate for both indoor and covered outdoor environments where moderate moisture resistance is required.

Installation Notes

J bolts of this type are typically installed by general tradespeople or maintenance personnel using standard hand tools. Before installation into structural members, confirm the substrate material and loading requirements comply with applicable building codes. For masonry or concrete applications, a properly sized pilot hole should be drilled before setting the bolt. Avoid overtightening the included hex nut, as excessive torque can deform the hook or strip the threads on this wire-gauge fastener.
