Value Collection BOECF5200wHex Elevator Bolt 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOECF5200wHex is a Grade 2 steel elevator bolt designed for bulk material handling and conveyor system applications. It features a 5/16-18 UNC thread with a broad, flat fanged head that seats flush and resists rotation during installation. The overall length is 2 inches, and the head diameter ranges from 1.188 to 1.227 inches, providing a wide bearing surface suited to belt and bucket elevator assemblies. The uncoated steel finish is standard for interior mechanical installations. Licensed trade and maintenance technicians handling conveyor and elevator equipment are the primary installers.

Elevator bolts of this type are commonly used in grain elevator legs, bucket conveyors, flat belt conveyors, and similar bulk-handling equipment where a flush, low-profile fastener head is required. The fanged head bites into conveyor belting or wooden lagging to prevent spinning during nut installation. This bolt is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies operating in dry to mildly humid indoor environments.

Key Features

• Fanged head design resists rotation during fastening without requiring a secondary tool on the bolt head
• Broad flat head provides wide bearing surface for conveyor belt and bucket elevator applications
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for compatibility with standard unified coarse-thread nuts and hardware
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical loads
• Uncoated finish — specify appropriate corrosion protection for humid or outdoor environments
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation elevator bolt for bucket conveyor legs, flat belt conveyors, and similar bulk material handling equipment requiring a 5/16-18 UNC fanged-head fastener with a 2-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by millwrights, conveyor maintenance technicians, or mechanical contractors. Power down and lock out all conveyor drive systems before replacing elevator bolts. Use a standard socket or wrench on the mating nut — the fanged head is designed to grip the belt or substrate and resist turning. Inspect the surrounding belt or lagging material for wear or cracking before reinstalling hardware.
