Value Collection BOEC15104wHex Elevator Bolt 5/16-18 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOEC15104wHex is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt with a flat, wide-diameter head designed to seat flush against conveyor belting, bucket elevator systems, and similar material-handling assemblies. The bolt features a 5/16-18 UNC thread, a 1-1/4 inch overall length, and a 1-3/16 inch head diameter that distributes clamping load across soft or flexible substrates. The uncoated steel finish is standard for dry indoor applications. This fastener is sold in multiples of 100, making it appropriate for bulk replacement or new-build installations on conveyor and elevator equipment.

Elevator bolts of this configuration are commonly used in grain handling, aggregate conveying, bucket elevator legs, and industrial belt conveyor systems. The broad, flat head prevents pull-through on belting material, rubber liners, and similar flexible media. The 5/16-18 UNC thread mates with standard hex nuts and flanged nuts used throughout agricultural, food processing, and light industrial equipment. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, industrial maintenance technicians, or mechanical contractors working on bulk-material handling systems.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and hardware
• 1-3/16 inch flat head diameter distributes load to prevent pull-through on belting and flexible substrates
• 1-1/4 inch overall length suits shallow belt-attachment applications
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for general material-handling service
• Uncoated finish — suitable for dry indoor environments where corrosion is not a concern
• Sold in multiples of 100 to support production and bulk maintenance requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement elevator bolt for bucket elevator legs and belt conveyor systems using 5/16-18 UNC fastener patterns with wide flat-head seating requirements.

Installation Notes

Elevator bolts are typically installed by millwrights or maintenance technicians working on material-handling equipment. Before replacing fasteners, de-energize and lock out the conveyor or elevator drive per OSHA lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures. Seat the flat head fully against the belt or mounting surface before torquing the mating nut to ensure even load distribution. Do not use elevator bolts as substitutes for structural fasteners in applications requiring Grade 5 or higher specifications.
