Value Collection EBI203101250-050B Elevator Bolt 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION EBI203101250-050B is a zinc-plated steel elevator bolt designed for conveyor, bucket elevator, and material-handling applications where a wide, flat head is required to seat flush against belt or wood surfaces. The bolt features a 5/16-18 UNC thread and a Grade 2 steel construction with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. The flat head profile and broad 1-3/16 inch head diameter distribute clamping load across soft or flexible materials without pulling through. Mechanical contractors, millwrights, and equipment maintenance technicians working on conveyor systems are the primary installers of this fastener type.

Elevator bolts are commonly used in agricultural, food-processing, and industrial material-handling equipment where conveyor belting, rubber, or wood splice plates must be fastened securely. The wide head eliminates the need for a backing washer in many installations. This bolt is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it well suited for bulk fastener replacement or new conveyor assembly work.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread for compatibility with standard hex nuts and flange nuts
• 1-3/16 inch head diameter distributes load across belting or wood surfaces
• 1-1/4 inch overall length under head suits standard belt thickness applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection in dry to mildly humid environments
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for low- to medium-strength clamping applications
• Flat head profile seats flush without countersinking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement elevator bolt for conveyor belt and bucket elevator assemblies requiring a 5/16-18 UNC flat-head fastener with a 1-3/16 inch head diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights or equipment maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out all conveyor drive systems before replacing fasteners on live belt assemblies. Use a standard hex wrench or socket on the mating nut and hold the bolt head flat against the belt surface to prevent spinning during torque-up. Follow equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures throughout service.
