Value Collection BOEC15100wHex Elevator Bolt 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOEC15100wHex is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt designed for conveyor and bulk-material handling applications. It features a 5/16-18 UNC thread, a flat head with a head diameter ranging from 1.188 to 1.227 inches, and a 1-inch overall length (OAL). The uncoated steel construction provides standard mechanical strength suited to interior conveyor belt assemblies and similar equipment. This bolt is installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical contractors working on conveyor systems, grain handling equipment, and industrial machinery.

Elevator bolts are commonly used in conveyor belt fastening, agricultural equipment, and bulk-material handling systems where a low-profile flat head is required to sit flush against the belt surface. The 5/16-18 UNC thread provides broad compatibility with standard hardware and facilitates secure clamping without protruding above the belt plane. These bolts are sold in multiples of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread for wide hardware compatibility
• 1 inch overall length (OAL) for low-profile fastening applications
• Flat head design seats flush against conveyor belting and panel surfaces
• Head diameter 1.188 to 1.227 inches for positive belt retention
• Uncoated Grade 2 steel construction meets standard mechanical strength requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement elevator bolt for conveyor belt systems and bulk-material handling equipment requiring a 5/16-18 UNC threaded flat-head fastener with a 1-inch OAL.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical maintenance technicians or millwrights. De-energize and lock out all conveyor drive systems before replacing fasteners. Use appropriate wrenches and torque equipment to achieve consistent clamping force across all belt fasteners. Inspect the mating nut and belt material for wear or damage before reinstalling.
