Value Collection EH4358 Aluminum Sex Bolt 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION EH4358 is an aluminum sex bolt binding post used to create tamper-resistant, removable fastening points in assemblies that require through-bolt connections. The barrel measures 3.5 inches in length and accepts an 8-32 UNC-threaded screw with a 0.375-inch screw length. The uncoated aluminum construction keeps weight minimal at 0.02 pounds per piece. These binding posts are commonly installed by machinists, fabricators, and assembly technicians working on panels, binders, leather goods, and light-duty structural connections where a flush or recessed fastener profile is required.

This binding post is suited for applications where two panels or materials must be fastened together with a removable threaded connector. The 8-32 UNC thread is a standard size found across a wide range of assembly applications in both commercial and light industrial settings. The uncoated aluminum finish makes it appropriate for indoor applications and assemblies where corrosion exposure is minimal. No drive type is specified, making it compatible with installations where the barrel is held in place by hand or with a holding tool while the mating screw is tightened from the opposite side.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard fastener hardware
• 3.5-inch barrel length accommodates thicker panel or material stacks
• 0.375-inch screw length for secure thread engagement
• Uncoated aluminum construction keeps component weight low
• No drive type design allows hand-insertion during assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC sex bolt binding post suitable for panel assembly, book binding, leather work, and similar through-bolt fastening applications where a removable barrel-and-screw connection is required.

Installation Notes

Binding posts are typically installed by inserting the barrel through a pre-drilled clearance hole from one side of the assembly and threading the mating screw in from the opposite side. Ensure the clearance hole diameter matches the barrel outer diameter before installation. Do not over-torque the mating screw, as aluminum threads can strip under excessive force. A hand screwdriver or low-torque power driver is recommended for final tightening.
