Value Collection HCI30500250N-025BX Hex Head Bolt A325

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI30500250N-025BX is a Grade A325 hex head bolt designed for structural and heavy-duty fastening applications. It features a 1/2-13 UNC thread size with a 2-1/2 inch length under head and is partially threaded along the shank. Manufactured from steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this bolt meets ASTM A325 standards, making it suitable for structural steel connections and high-strength bolting assemblies. Ironworkers, structural contractors, and millwrights use this fastener type when code-compliant, high-strength connections are required.

This bolt is commonly used in structural steel framing, heavy equipment assembly, and industrial fabrication where ASTM A325 compliance is specified by engineers or inspectors. The 1/2-13 coarse thread pattern provides reliable engagement across a wide range of mating nuts and tapped holes. Its uncoated bright finish is appropriate for interior structural applications or situations where a specific coating will be applied after installation.

Key Features

• Grade A325 structural bolt meeting ASTM A325 fastener standards
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard hex nuts
• 2-1/2 inch length under head suits moderate-depth structural connections
• Partially threaded shank maintains shear strength in bearing-type connections
• Uncoated bright finish; suitable for painted or galvanized post-treatment
• Sold in multiples of 5 per ASTM A325 procurement practice

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASTM A325 structural hex head bolt compatible with 1/2-13 UNC heavy hex nuts and structural washers used in bearing-type and slip-critical steel connections per AISC and RCSC specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation of ASTM A325 structural bolts should be performed by qualified ironworkers or structural tradespeople following RCSC Specification for Structural Joints and applicable project drawings. Always use appropriate structural washers and mating heavy hex nuts rated for A325 service. Torque or tension requirements must be determined by the engineer of record and followed precisely using calibrated torque wrenches or direct-tension indicators. Never substitute A325 bolts with lower-grade fasteners in structural connections.
