Value Collection BOES15100wHex Elevator Bolt 5/16-18 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOES15100wHex is a 5/16-18 UNC stainless steel elevator bolt with a flat, countersunk-style head designed to sit flush or just below the surface of the mating material. Constructed from grade 18-8 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance for wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. The overall assembly length (OAL) is 1 inch, and the head diameter measures 1-3/16 inches (1.1880 to 1.2270 inches). These bolts are installed by contractors, millwrights, and maintenance technicians wherever a large-diameter low-profile head is required to grip soft or fibrous materials without pull-through.

Elevator bolts are commonly used in conveyor systems, grain handling equipment, belt conveyors, and agricultural machinery where a broad, flat head captures belting or wooden members from below. The 5/16-18 UNC thread accepts standard hex nuts and washers available in matching 18-8 stainless steel for fully corrosion-resistant assemblies. This bolt suits light-duty to medium-duty conveyor belt fastening in both indoor and outdoor installations, including food-processing adjacent environments where stainless material grades are preferred.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor service
• Large flat head at 1-3/16 inches diameter (1.1880 to 1.2270 inches) reduces pull-through on belting and soft materials
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for compatibility with standard hex nuts and washers
• 1 inch OAL suits thin-section clamping applications
• Flat head profile keeps the fastener low-profile once seated

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for conveyor belt systems, agricultural equipment, and other applications requiring a 5/16-18 UNC elevator bolt with a 1-3/16 inch diameter flat head.

Installation Notes

Elevator bolts are typically installed by millwrights or maintenance technicians using standard combination wrenches or sockets. Always de-energize and lock out conveyor drives before fastener replacement or belt work in accordance with OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners without lubrication, as galling of 18-8 threads is common; use an appropriate anti-seize compound. Ensure the mating nut and washer are compatible in grade and thread pitch before installation.
