Value Collection BOEC14204wHex Elevator Bolt 1/4-20 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOEC14204wHex is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt designed for conveyor and bulk-material handling applications where a flush, low-profile head is required. The flat head profile seats into countersunk or mushroom-hole openings to keep conveyor belt surfaces smooth and prevent snagging. With a 1/4-20 UNC thread and an overall length of 2.25 inches, this bolt provides solid mechanical engagement for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks. The uncoated steel finish is standard for indoor or dry-environment installations where additional corrosion protection is not specified. Maintenance crews, conveyor installers, and general industrial mechanics are the primary users of this fastener.

Elevator bolts are commonly installed in agricultural conveyor systems, food processing equipment, bulk-material transfer belts, and industrial machinery frames. The large, flat head distributes clamping load across belt or panel surfaces, reducing the risk of pull-through. This bolt is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces, making it suitable for maintenance shops and production facilities that stock hardware in bulk. The 1/4-20 UNC thread pattern accepts standard hex nuts and lock nuts readily available from any fastener supplier.

Key Features

• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable light-duty to medium-duty tensile performance
• Flat head profile seats flush against belt or panel surfaces to minimize obstruction
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard nuts and threaded inserts
• 2.25 inches overall length provides adequate thread engagement across typical belt and bracket thicknesses
• 31/32 inch (0.969 to 1.008 inches) head diameter distributes load and resists pull-through
• Uncoated finish — specify coated variants if corrosion resistance is required

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC Grade 2 steel elevator bolt for use in conveyor belt assemblies, agricultural equipment, and bulk-material handling systems that require a flat-head fastener with a large bearing surface.

Installation Notes

Elevator bolts are installed by inserting the flat head through the countersunk or slotted hole in the belt or mounting panel, then threading a nut from the underside. Ensure power to any conveyor drive is locked out and tagged out before servicing belt hardware per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. Use the appropriate wrench size for the mating nut and avoid over-torquing, which can deform the belt or panel material. Inspect threads for damage before installation and discard any fastener with stripped or cross-threaded engagement.
