Value Collection BOECF4104wHex Elevator Bolt 1/4-20 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOECF4104wHex is a 1/4-20 steel elevator bolt designed for conveyor, agricultural, and material-handling assemblies where a low-profile, wide-bearing head is required. The fanged underhead design bites into wood or soft substrates to prevent rotation during installation, eliminating the need for a secondary tool to hold the bolt in place. Overall length is 1-1/4 inches, and the head diameter runs 31/32 inches (0.969 to 1.008 inches). Thread form is Unified National Coarse (UNC), and the fastener meets Grade 2 specifications. The uncoated steel finish suits dry indoor applications or systems where a separate plating or coating process will be applied downstream.

Elevator bolts of this pattern are used primarily in flat-belt and bucket-elevator conveyor systems, grain handling equipment, and wood-processing machinery. The broad, flat head distributes clamping load across belt material and reduces the risk of pull-through under vibration or impact loads. Maintenance technicians and millwrights typically install these fasteners during belt replacement or conveyor rebuild work. This item is sold individually but is subject to a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Fanged underhead locks against wood and belt material to resist rotation without a backup wrench
• 1/4-20 UNC thread provides wide hardware compatibility with standard hex nuts and flange nuts
• 1-1/4 inches overall length suits standard conveyor belt thickness stackups
• 31/32-inch head diameter (0.969 to 1.008 inches) delivers broad load distribution
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose mechanical fastener requirements
• Uncoated finish allows downstream coating or use in dry, low-corrosion environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance fastener for flat-belt conveyor systems, bucket elevators, and grain-handling equipment that call for 1/4-20 UNC elevator bolts with a fanged, flat head profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or maintenance mechanics during scheduled conveyor downtime. De-energize and lock out the conveyor drive before accessing the belt or fasteners, following applicable LOTO procedures under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147. Insert the bolt through the belt and substrate so the fang engages the material, then thread on the appropriate nut and tighten to the nut manufacturer's specification using a standard wrench. Inspect adjacent belt sections and fasteners for wear or elongated holes before returning the conveyor to service.
