Value Collection BOEC15300wHex Steel Elevator Bolt 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOEC15300wHex is a steel elevator bolt designed for conveyor, agricultural, and material-handling applications where a wide, flat head is required to pull flush against belting or other flat surfaces. The bolt features a 5/16-18 UNC thread, a 3-inch overall length (OAL), and a flat head measuring 1-3/16 inches in diameter. Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for standard conveyor belt fastening work. The uncoated finish suits indoor or covered installations where corrosion exposure is limited. Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians and millwrights working on belt conveyor systems.

Elevator bolts are a standard fastener in conveyor belt assembly and bulk-material handling equipment. The large, flat head distributes clamping force across the belt surface, reducing pull-through risk. This bolt is suited for grain handling, aggregate processing, package conveyor lines, and similar belt-driven systems. The 5/16-18 UNC thread mates with standard hex nuts and carriage hardware commonly stocked for conveyor maintenance. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order, sold as individual units within that minimum.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread for compatibility with standard conveyor hardware
• 3-inch overall length suits typical belt-and-plate conveyor fastening stacks
• 1-3/16 inch flat head diameter provides broad clamping surface to resist pull-through
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard strength requirements for conveyor belt service
• Uncoated finish for use in dry or covered material-handling environments
• Flat head profile sits flush with belt surface to avoid interference with conveyed material

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC-thread elevator bolt for use in residential and commercial conveyor belt assemblies, agricultural handling equipment, and bulk-material processing systems requiring 5/16-18 fasteners.

Installation Notes

Elevator bolts are installed by maintenance technicians and millwrights during conveyor belt assembly or belt replacement. De-energize and lock out the conveyor drive before beginning fastener work. Pair with appropriate hex nuts, washers, or belt clamps per the equipment manufacturer's fastener specification. Do not substitute Grade 2 hardware in applications that specify Grade 5 or higher tensile strength.
