Value Collection BOES14108wHex Elevator Bolt 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOES14108wHex is a stainless steel elevator bolt designed for applications requiring a low-profile flat head and reliable corrosion resistance. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, this bolt features a 1/4-20 UNC thread and measures 1-1/2 inches overall length with a head diameter ranging from 0.969 to 1.008 inches (nominal 31/32 inches). The flat head profile sits flush or countersunk against the mating surface, making it well suited for conveyor systems, bucket elevators, and other mechanical assemblies where a protruding head would interfere with operation. Trade professionals in mechanical, agricultural, and industrial maintenance work specify this hardware for its dimensional precision and stainless steel durability.

This elevator bolt is commonly used in bucket elevator conveyor systems, grain handling equipment, and industrial conveyor belting applications. The flat head design prevents snagging and distributes clamping load across a wide bearing surface. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where moisture exposure or mild corrosive environments require stainless steel fasteners over standard carbon steel hardware. Mechanical technicians and millwrights typically install this bolt when replacing worn or failed elevator belt hardware.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard nuts and hardware
• Flat head profile distributes load and prevents interference with conveyor belt surfaces
• Head diameter of 31/32 inches (0.969 to 1.008 inches) for wide bearing surface
• 1-1/2 inches overall length suitable for standard elevator belt thickness applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for bucket elevator and conveyor belt assemblies requiring 1/4-20 UNC flat head elevator bolts in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or mechanical maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the conveyor drive before servicing belt hardware. Use the appropriate wrench or socket for the mating nut and ensure the bolt head seats flush against the belt or mounting surface before final tightening. Consult applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures and equipment manufacturer guidelines prior to service.
