Value Collection HCI21001200G6-001BX Hex Head Bolt Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI21001200G6-001BX is a heavy-duty hex head bolt designed for structural and general fastening applications where corrosion resistance is required. This bolt features a 1-8 UNC thread size, measures 12 inches in length under the head, and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish. The partial threading configuration is well suited to through-bolt and clamping applications where a smooth shank provides better shear load distribution. At approximately 1 pound, this bolt meets ASTM A307 standards, making it appropriate for low-carbon steel fastener applications in light structural assemblies.

This bolt is commonly used in construction, structural steel framing, utility mounting, equipment anchoring, and general mechanical assemblies. The hot-dipped galvanized coating provides durable corrosion protection for outdoor, wet, or high-humidity environments. Tradespeople including ironworkers, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors will find this bolt suitable for both interior and exterior installations where ASTM A307 compliance is specified by project drawings or local codes.

Key Features

• 1-8 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and hardware
• 12-inch length under head accommodates deep through-bolt assemblies
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance over electroplated alternatives
• Partially threaded shank improves shear strength and reduces thread engagement in non-load zones
• ASTM A307 compliant for use in low-carbon steel fastener applications
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for general-purpose structural fastening

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use hex head bolt for standard 1-8 UNC threaded applications requiring a 12-inch partially threaded fastener with hot-dipped galvanized finish.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using appropriate hand or power tools rated for the fastener size. Always torque fasteners in accordance with project specifications and applicable structural codes. Ensure mating nuts and washers are also galvanized or otherwise compatible to avoid galvanic corrosion. Do not use impact tools that exceed the rated drive specification for Grade 2 fasteners, as overtorquing can cause bolt failure.
