Value Collection BOEC14108wHex Elevator Bolt 1/4-20 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOEC14108wHex is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt designed for conveyor and bulk-material handling applications. It features a 1/4-20 UNC thread and a flat, broad head that seats flush against belt or trough surfaces to prevent snagging and material hang-up. The overall length under the head is 1-1/2 inches, and the head diameter ranges from 0.9690 to 1.0080 inches (nominal 31/32 inches). The uncoated steel construction makes it a straightforward replacement in standard indoor conveyor assemblies where corrosion is not a primary concern. Mechanical contractors, millwrights, and maintenance technicians regularly install this fastener in agricultural, food-processing, and light industrial conveyor belt systems.

Elevator bolts are used wherever a low-profile, wide-head fastener is needed to clamp conveyor belting to buckets, flights, or slats. This bolt is suited to residential grain handling, seed processing, aggregate conveyors, and similar systems that move bulk material along a belt or trough. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is a common pitch that works with standard hex nuts and lock nuts available throughout the trade supply chain.

Key Features

• Flat, wide head seats flush to prevent belt snagging and material hang-up
• 1/4-20 UNC thread pitch for compatibility with standard nuts and hardware
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for general-duty, non-structural fastening
• Uncoated finish for cost-effective use in dry indoor conveyor environments
• 1-1/2 inch length under head accommodates standard belt and flight thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement elevator bolt for conveyor belt and bucket elevator assemblies requiring a 1/4-20 UNC flat-head fastener with a nominal 31/32 inch head diameter.

Installation Notes

Elevator bolts are installed by millwrights or maintenance technicians with the head seated on the carry-side of the belt or flight. De-energize and lock out the conveyor drive before any fastener service. Use the correct flat washer and nut on the back side to distribute clamping load evenly across the belt material. Do not overtighten in rubber or plastic belting, as excess torque can tear the belt around the head seat.
