Value Collection BOES14104wHex Elevator Bolt 1/4-20 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOES14104wHex is a flat-head elevator bolt machined from 18-8 stainless steel. It carries a 1/4-20 UNC thread and measures 1.25 inches overall length under the head, with a broad flat head ranging from 0.969 to 1.008 inches in diameter (nominal 31/32 inches). Elevator bolts are designed to mount flush or countersunk in conveyor belts, agricultural equipment, and similar flat-surface assemblies where a low-profile head is required to prevent snagging or interference. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical-exposure, or food-adjacent environments. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This elevator bolt is used in applications where a wide, flat bearing surface must distribute clamping load across a soft or slotted substrate. Common installations include conveyor belt splicing, grain-handling equipment, bucket-elevator assemblies, and wood or composite panel fastening. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is broadly compatible with standard hex nuts, flange nuts, and nylon-insert locknuts of the same thread designation. The stainless steel material grade makes this fastener a practical choice in washdown or high-humidity environments where carbon steel would corrode.

Key Features

• Flat head profile keeps fastener flush with the mating surface to prevent snagging in conveyor and belt applications
• 18-8 stainless steel material grade offers corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• 1/4-20 UNC thread is compatible with standard nuts and hardware of the same thread designation
• Head diameter of 0.969 to 1.008 inches provides a broad bearing surface to reduce pullout through soft materials
• 1.25 inches overall length suits thin-to-medium panel and belt fastening scenarios

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for applications requiring a 1/4-20 UNC flat-head elevator bolt in 18-8 stainless steel with a nominal 31/32-inch head diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or experienced assemblers using standard hand tools and a correctly sized wrench or socket for the mating nut. De-energize and lock out any conveyor or mechanical system before replacing fasteners per applicable LOTO procedures. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 alloys are susceptible to galling; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads before installation. Verify that the receiving substrate hole diameter is sized to prevent the head from pulling through under load.
