Value Collection BOEC15200wHex Steel Elevator Bolt 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOEC15200wHex is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt designed for use in conveyor systems, bulk material handling equipment, and agricultural machinery. This flat-head fastener features a 5/16-18 UNC thread and measures 2 inches in overall length (OAL), with a broad head diameter ranging from 1.188 to 1.227 inches. The wide, low-profile head distributes clamping load across belting and wood components, preventing pull-through in high-load conveyor belt assemblies. The uncoated steel finish is standard for interior mechanical applications where the fastener is not exposed to corrosive environments. Licensed fastener installers and millwrights are the typical installers for this hardware.

Elevator bolts of this configuration are commonly used in grain elevator legs, bucket conveyor systems, and feed processing equipment. The broad flat head seats flush against rubber or fabric conveyor belting, securing belt sections and buckets without damaging the belt surface. This bolt is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order, making it appropriate for production and maintenance purchasing in bulk fastener programs.

Key Features

• Grade 2 steel construction for standard-duty mechanical applications
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard hex nuts
• 2 inches overall length suits typical belt thickness and bracket stacking
• Head diameter of 1.188 to 1.227 inches provides wide load distribution across belting
• Flat head profile seats flush against conveyor belt surfaces without protrusion
• Uncoated finish for use in dry, interior conveyor and handling environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production fastener for conveyor belt assemblies, grain elevator legs, and bucket elevator systems requiring 5/16-18 flat-head elevator bolts.

Installation Notes

Elevator bolts are installed by millwrights and maintenance technicians servicing conveyor and bulk-handling equipment. De-energize and lock out all conveyor drive systems before replacing belt fasteners. Use the appropriate hex nut and washer on the back side of the belt to achieve proper clamping without over-torquing and damaging the belting material. Follow equipment manufacturer torque specifications and applicable ASME or OSHA machinery guarding requirements when reassembling conveyor systems.
