Value Collection C50000144 Elevator Bolt 5/16-18 2 in Steel 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C50000144 is a zinc-plated steel elevator bolt designed for conveyor and bulk-handling applications. It features a flat, large-diameter head that seats flush against belt or board surfaces, resisting pull-through under load. The thread specification is 5/16-18 UNC (Unified National Coarse), and the overall length is 2 inches. Head diameter ranges from 1.188 to 1.227 inches. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this bolt provides moderate corrosion resistance for indoor and light-exposure environments. Licensed technicians, millwrights, and maintenance professionals install these in conveyor belt assemblies, grain handling equipment, and similar bulk-material systems.

Elevator bolts are a standard fastener in agricultural conveyor systems, bucket elevators, sawmill conveyors, and food-processing belt assemblies. The wide, flat head distributes clamping force across the belt or carrier surface, preventing localized tearing. The 5/16-18 UNC thread mates with standard hex nuts, flange nuts, or T-nuts used in conveyor framing. This package contains 50 bolts, making it suitable for a full conveyor section replacement or maintenance stock replenishment on a single service call.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread for compatibility with standard hex and flange nuts
• Large flat head (1.188 to 1.227 inches diameter) prevents pull-through in belt and board applications
• 2-inch overall length suits standard conveyor belt and carrier board thicknesses
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for general conveyor service
• Zinc-plated finish offers moderate rust resistance in indoor and low-moisture environments
• Pack of 50 supports full-section service without reordering mid-job

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement elevator bolt for conveyor belts, bucket elevators, and bulk-handling equipment requiring a 5/16-18 UNC flat-head fastener with a 2-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Elevator bolts are typically installed by millwrights or maintenance technicians during conveyor belt assembly or repair. Always de-energize and lock out the conveyor drive before fastener replacement, following OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Insert the bolt from the belt side so the flat head seats flush against the belt surface, then secure with the appropriate nut from the frame side. Do not over-torque — seat the nut snug against the belt material without distorting the carrier surface.
