Value Collection 244722 Carriage Bolt 1/4-20 2in Square Neck Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 244722 is a 1/4-20 UNC carriage bolt with a 2-inch length under head and a square neck profile. Carriage bolts are designed to be drawn into wood or soft material from the nut side, with the square neck resisting rotation as the fastener seats. This bolt is manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, providing corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, construction, and outdoor fastening applications. It is installed by maintenance technicians, general contractors, and tradespeople wherever a tamper-resistant, self-locking fastener is required in a bolted assembly.

This carriage bolt is suited for wood-to-wood, wood-to-metal, and light structural connections in residential and commercial settings. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is among the most common inch-series fastener sizes, making this bolt appropriate for equipment framing, railing systems, fence construction, and general assembly work. Grade 18-8 stainless steel makes it a practical choice for damp, coastal, or corrosion-prone environments where carbon steel fasteners would degrade quickly.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• 2-inch length under head for medium-depth fastening applications
• Square neck design prevents bolt rotation during installation without a wrench on the head
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating buildup in threaded assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series carriage bolt for use with 1/4-20 UNC nuts and hardware in wood or light structural fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation typically requires a standard wrench or socket on the mating nut; the square neck seats into the substrate to prevent spinning during tightening. Ensure the receiving material is appropriately pre-drilled to allow the square neck to seat fully without splitting. For structural applications, consult applicable building codes for minimum fastener specifications. Minimum order quantity for this item is 25 pieces.
