Value Collection BOEC16100wHex Elevator Bolt 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOEC16100wHex is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt with a 3/8-16 UNC thread and a low-profile flat head designed to sit flush against conveyor belts, buckets, and similar flat surfaces. The overall length is 1 inch, and the head diameter measures 1-5/16 inches (1.3120 to 1.3520 inches). The uncoated steel construction is suited for dry indoor applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern. This bolt is a standard hardware item installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and agricultural equipment mechanics.

Elevator bolts are used primarily in bucket elevator assemblies, conveyor belt systems, and grain handling equipment where a wide, flat head is needed to distribute clamping load across a belt or thin panel without pulling through. The flat head profile keeps the fastener below or flush with the mating surface, which is critical in conveyor and elevator applications where protrusion would cause interference or damage to the belt.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad hardware compatibility
• 1 inch overall length suits thin belt and panel installations
• 1-5/16 inch flat head provides wide load distribution
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard tensile requirements for light-to-medium duty fastening
• Uncoated finish for applications where surface treatment is not required
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement elevator bolt for bucket elevator assemblies and conveyor belt systems requiring a 3/8-16 UNC flat-head fastener with a 1-5/16 inch head diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or maintenance personnel during belt assembly or bucket replacement. De-energize and lock out the conveyor or elevator drive before servicing any fasteners. Use the appropriately sized wrench or socket for the mating nut; do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel has lower proof load ratings than higher-grade fasteners. Verify that the head seats flat against the belt or panel surface to prevent slippage or belt damage during operation.
