Value Collection BOEC16208wHex Elevator Bolt 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOEC16208wHex is a flat-head elevator bolt made from Grade 2 steel with an uncoated finish. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread and a 2.5-inch length under the head, giving it the extended shank typical of elevator bolt applications. The oversized flat head measures 1-5/16 inches in diameter, allowing it to seat flush against conveyor belting, buckets, or wooden elevator casings without pulling through. This bolt is installed by millwrights, conveyor technicians, and industrial maintenance mechanics wherever a large-diameter bearing surface is needed to secure soft or fibrous materials.

Elevator bolts are commonly used in grain handling, agricultural conveyor systems, bucket elevators, and bulk-material processing equipment. The flat head profile seats into countersunk or surface-mounted applications on belt conveyor assemblies and wooden or polymer chute linings. The UNC thread form accepts standard hex nuts and lock nuts for straightforward assembly in the field.

Key Features

• Flat head design provides a large bearing surface to prevent pull-through in soft materials
• 3/8-16 UNC thread is compatible with standard hardware and fastener tooling
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose structural fastener requirements
• Uncoated finish suitable for dry indoor conveyor and elevator environments
• 2.5-inch length under head accommodates standard belt and casing thicknesses
• Head diameter range of 1.312 to 1.352 inches ensures consistent seating across mating surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-profile replacement elevator bolt for 3/8-16 UNC fastener applications in grain elevator, bucket conveyor, and bulk-material handling assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or maintenance mechanics. De-energize and lock out conveyor drive systems before servicing any fasteners on moving assemblies. Use a standard open-end or socket wrench sized for the mating nut; do not overtighten into soft belt or polymer materials. Follow applicable ANSI and OSHA lockout/tagout procedures when working on powered conveyor equipment.
