Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this bolt resists corrosion in light-duty environments and meets standard UNC thread specifications. The square neck directly beneath the head locks into wood or soft material to prevent spinning during nut tightening, making installation straightforward without needing a secondary tool to hold the fastener. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors use carriage bolts like this for equipment mounting, structural connections, and bracket assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis carriage bolt suits residential and light commercial applications where inch-system fasteners are required. Common uses include securing equipment frames, mounting panels, connecting wood-to-metal assemblies, and general structural fastening tasks encountered during mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations. The 5\/16-18 UNC thread size is widely compatible with standard hex nuts and washers available through most trade suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-system hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare neck prevents bolt rotation during tightening without a secondary tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers light corrosion resistance in dry and semi-exposed environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose inch-system carriage bolt compatible with standard 5\/16-18 UNC hex nuts, washers, and coupling nuts used in residential and light commercial fastening applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarriage bolts are typically installed by trade professionals and general contractors using standard hand or power tools. Insert the bolt through a pre-drilled hole sized to the shank diameter so the square neck seats flush and resists turning. Thread a hex nut onto the exposed end and tighten with a wrench — no tool is needed on the bolt head side once the neck is seated. Confirm the hole substrate material is appropriate for the load before torquing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Square\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161603\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: CAI203102000-10LBBX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694573453618,"sku":"CAI203102000-10LBBX","price":74.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9e22d3703fe80d82754a0fc81e67ea27_43dcdd3d-8df5-4a01-86cc-bdda98340931.jpg?v=1788325660","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-cai203102000-10lbbx-carriage-bolt-5-16-18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
