Value Collection BOEC16108wHex Elevator Bolt 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOEC16108wHex is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt with a flat, broad-bearing head designed to seat flush in countersunk or slotted applications. It measures 1-1/2 inches overall length (OAL) with a head diameter ranging from 1.3120 to 1.3520 inches (nominal 1-5/16 inches). The 3/8-16 Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread provides reliable fastening in wood, metal, or composite conveyor and bulk-handling assemblies. The uncoated finish suits indoor dry environments or applications where a secondary coating will be applied post-installation. Maintenance technicians and millwrights working on conveyor systems are the primary installers of this fastener.

Elevator bolts of this type are used in grain handling, conveyor belt assemblies, bucket elevator systems, and agricultural equipment fabrication. The wide, flat head prevents pull-through in belt material and distributes clamping load across a broad surface area. This bolt is sold individually (package quantity of 1) with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it appropriate for maintenance stock replenishment or small-batch fabrication projects requiring consistent fastener specs.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard nuts and tapped components
• 1-1/2 inches OAL suits typical belt thickness and backing plate stack-ups
• Head diameter 1-5/16 inches (1.3120 to 1.3520 inches) provides wide bearing surface to resist pull-through
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose structural fastener requirements
• Uncoated finish allows field application of paint, plating, or other surface treatments as needed
• Flat head profile seats cleanly in countersunk belt holes for smooth conveyor operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for bucket elevator and belt conveyor assemblies requiring a 3/8-16 UNC flat-head elevator bolt with a 1-5/16 inch head diameter and 1-1/2 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified millwrights or maintenance technicians following the equipment manufacturer's fastener torque and spacing specifications. De-energize and lock out all conveyor drive systems before replacing or installing elevator bolts. Use appropriate wrenches or impact tooling sized for 3/8-16 hardware. Ensure mating nuts and belt material are rated for the load and environment of the specific conveyor application.
