Value Collection BOEC15108wHex Elevator Bolt 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOEC15108wHex is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt with a flat, broad head designed for conveyor and bulk-handling applications. It features a 5/16-18 UNC thread and an overall length of 1-1/2 inches. The head diameter ranges from 1.1880 to 1.2270 inches (nominally 1-3/16 inches), providing the wide bearing surface that elevator and conveyor belt fastening requires. The uncoated steel construction suits standard indoor and dry-environment installations. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order, this bolt is a practical buy for contractors and maintenance teams stocking a hardware supply.

Elevator bolts are used primarily in grain handling, food processing conveyors, bucket elevators, and similar bulk-material transport equipment. The oversized flat head seats flush against conveyor belting or wooden buckets to distribute clamping load without cutting through material. This bolt is a standard fit for light-duty conveyor assembly and belt-fastening tasks performed by millwrights, conveyor technicians, and maintenance mechanics working on industrial or agricultural equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or maintenance mechanics during conveyor assembly or belt replacement. Ensure the belt or mounting surface is clean and properly aligned before seating the bolt head. Use an appropriate wrench and matching 5/16-18 nut and washer; do not overtighten, as excessive torque can deform the belt material or buckle the head. Always de-energize and lock out the conveyor drive before performing any fastener work on moving equipment.
