Value Collection 205168MSC Plow Bolt 5/8-11 Unc Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 205168MSC is a Grade 8 alloy steel plow bolt designed for heavy-duty fastening applications where high tensile strength and flush seating are required. With a 5/8-11 UNC thread size and an overall length of 2-3/4 inches, this bolt meets SAE J429 Grade 8 standards, making it suitable for demanding structural and equipment assembly work. The uncoated finish is standard for this grade. Plow bolts feature a countersunk, flat or oval head that sits flush with or below the mating surface, preventing interference with soil, material flow, or moving components. Licensed contractors, equipment mechanics, and fabricators commonly install these fasteners.

Plow bolts are widely used in agricultural equipment, heavy construction machinery, grading blades, and earthmoving attachments where a low-profile head is critical to prevent snagging or wear. The 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread provides good pull-out resistance in metal assemblies and is compatible with standard UNC hex nuts and washers. This bolt is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 25 units, making it appropriate for service shops or contractors stocking fastener inventory for field repairs and fabrication projects.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction meets SAE J429 for high tensile and proof load requirements
• 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard UNC hardware
• 2-3/4 inch overall length suits moderate-depth fastening applications
• Flush-seating plow bolt head design minimizes surface protrusion in wear-prone assemblies
• Uncoated finish suitable for environments where secondary coating or plating will be applied

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC Grade 8 plow bolt for use in agricultural, construction, and industrial equipment assemblies requiring SAE J429-compliant fasteners with a 5/8-11 thread.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by equipment mechanics or fabricators using standard hand or power tools rated for Grade 8 fastener torque specifications. Always verify the mating nut and hole dimensions match the 5/8-11 UNC thread profile before installation. Follow OEM or applicable industry torque tables for Grade 8 fasteners of this diameter to avoid under- or over-tightening. Inspect the countersunk recess in the receiving surface for proper fit to ensure the bolt head seats fully flush.
