Value Collection BOECF4100wHex Elevator Bolt 1/4-20 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOECF4100wHex is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt with a 1/4-20 UNC thread form and a 1 inch overall length. The fanged, flat-countersunk head measures 31/32 inch in diameter (0.969 to 1.008 inches actual range) and is designed to seat flush in conveyor belting, bucket elevator assemblies, and similar flat-track applications. The uncoated steel finish suits dry indoor installations where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern. Licensed contractors and maintenance technicians working on material-handling and agricultural conveyor systems install this fastener as a standard component.

Elevator bolts are a specialized fastener used primarily in grain handling, food processing, and bulk-material conveyor systems. This 1/4-20 bolt is sized for light-to-medium duty bucket elevator and flat-belt conveyor work. The fanged underside of the head bites into belt or wood decking to resist rotation during tightening, which is the defining characteristic that distinguishes elevator bolts from standard carriage bolts. Typical installations include bucket elevator legs, paddle conveyors, and agricultural equipment belt assemblies.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread provides broad nut and hardware compatibility
• Fanged flat head resists rotation without requiring a wrench on the bolt head
• 31/32 inch head diameter (0.969 to 1.008 inches) distributes clamping load across belt or decking material
• 1 inch overall length suits thin-belt and light-gauge conveyor deck applications
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard tensile requirements for elevator bolt service
• Uncoated finish appropriate for dry, indoor conveyor environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-build fastener for bucket elevator and flat-belt conveyor assemblies requiring a 1/4-20 UNC elevator bolt with a fanged flat head.

Installation Notes

Elevator bolts are typically installed by millwrights, agricultural equipment technicians, or maintenance mechanics working on conveyor and material-handling systems. Before servicing a conveyor assembly, lock out and tag out all drive motors per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Insert the bolt from the belt or deck side so the fangs seat into the substrate, then thread the nut from the underside and tighten to draw the fangs flush without over-driving into the belt material. Do not substitute a standard carriage bolt where an elevator bolt is specified, as the head geometry and fang retention are not equivalent.
