Value Collection 33812 Elevator Bolt 5/16-18 1 in Steel Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 33812 is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt with a zinc-plated finish, designed for use in conveyor systems, bucket elevators, and material-handling equipment. The bolt features a flat, large-diameter head that seats flush against belt or board surfaces, preventing pull-through under load. Thread size is 5/16-18 UNC with an overall length of 1 inch and a head diameter ranging from 1.188 to 1.227 inches. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance for light-duty and indoor industrial environments. This bolt is a standard fastener stocked in quantity for production and maintenance applications.

Elevator bolts are used wherever a low-profile, wide-bearing-surface fastener is needed to secure belting, wooden paddles, or buckets to conveyor systems. Common install scenarios include grain handling, agricultural conveyors, sand and gravel operations, and food-processing belt assemblies. The flat head profile keeps the fastener from snagging belt material or product being conveyed. Supplied in a package quantity of 50, this bolt is suited for batch restocking on active maintenance accounts or production line assembly.

Key Features

• Large flat head (1-3/16 inch diameter) distributes clamping load across belt or board surfaces
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for standard nut and hardware compatibility
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in light-duty environments
• 1 inch overall length suits thin belt and paddle assemblies
• Package quantity of 50 supports maintenance and production stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement elevator bolt for conveyor belt systems requiring 5/16-18 UNC flat-head fasteners with a 1-3/16 inch head diameter and 1 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Elevator bolts are typically installed by maintenance mechanics or millwrights working on conveyor and material-handling systems. De-energize and lock out the conveyor drive before replacing or installing any belt hardware. Use a standard wrench or socket on the mating nut and a flat tool to hold the bolt head flush against the belt surface during torquing. Verify the fastener seats fully flat against the belt to avoid snag points in the conveyor path.
