Value Collection 204215MSC Plow Bolt 1/2-13 Unc 4 Inch Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 204215MSC is a Grade 5 steel plow bolt designed for heavy-duty fastening applications where a flush or countersunk head profile is required. With a 1/2-13 UNC thread size and a 4-inch overall length, this bolt meets ASME/ANSI B18.9 and SAE J429 standards. The uncoated steel construction provides solid structural integrity for general industrial and agricultural fastening work. Weighing approximately 0.22 pounds per unit, it is a straightforward, no-frills fastener suited for high-load connections where plow-head geometry keeps the fastener from rotating during installation.

Plow bolts are commonly used in agricultural equipment, road grading machinery, conveyor systems, and other heavy equipment where a flat or flush bearing surface is needed on the bolt head side. The 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread pattern makes this bolt compatible with standard imperial tapped holes and hex nuts across a wide range of equipment platforms. Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, equipment mechanics, and general tradespeople working on machinery requiring replacement or new fastener assemblies.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction meets SAE J429 and ASME/ANSI B18.9 standards
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard imperial hardware
• 4-inch overall length suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Uncoated finish — suitable for use as-is or with additional corrosion protection applied in the field
• Plow-head profile prevents bolt rotation during nut tightening without requiring a separate tool on the head

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-profile replacement plow bolt for equipment using 1/2-13 UNC coarse-thread fasteners conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.9 geometry.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by equipment mechanics or maintenance personnel familiar with structural fastener torque requirements for Grade 5 hardware. Always ensure the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 1/2-13 UNC thread specification before installation. De-energize and lock out any machinery before replacing fasteners on moving components. Do not use impact tools at settings that may exceed the yield rating of Grade 5 fasteners.
