Value Collection BOEC16300wHex Elevator Bolt 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOEC16300wHex is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt with a flat, broad-bearing head designed for use in conveyor and bulk-material handling assemblies. The 3/8-16 UNC thread and 3-inch length under head provide secure clamping in wooden conveyor decks, troughs, and similar structures. The head diameter ranges from 1.312 to 1.352 inches, allowing the bolt to seat flush in countersunk or slotted conveyor components without rotating during tightening. Supplied uncoated, this bolt suits indoor and dry-environment applications. Maintenance technicians and millwrights typically install this fastener during conveyor build-out or scheduled component replacement.

Elevator bolts are a standard fastener in grain handling, aggregate processing, food processing, and general bulk-material conveyor systems. This 3/8-16 Grade 2 steel bolt fits into slotted or square holes in conveyor belt flights and wooden or polymer deck boards, where the wide flat head prevents pull-through under load. The uncoated finish is appropriate for controlled-environment installations. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard nuts and threaded inserts in conveyor assemblies
• Flat head with 1.312 to 1.352 inch diameter provides a wide bearing surface to resist pull-through
• 3-inch length under head suits standard conveyor deck board thicknesses
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose fastener load requirements
• Uncoated finish keeps weight and cost low for high-volume replacement applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit elevator bolt for conveyor belt flights, wooden conveyor decks, and bulk-material handling troughs 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 technicians during conveyor assembly or scheduled belt and deck maintenance. De-energize and lock out the conveyor drive before replacing any fasteners. The wide flat head seats into a slotted or countersunk hole in the deck or flight; a standard nut and washer are tightened from the underside. Do not use impact tools at full torque without a backup wrench on the head, as spinning can damage the seating surface.
