Value Collection HCI30500325N-025BX Hex Head Bolt A325

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI30500325N-025BX is a 1/2-13 UNC hex head bolt designed for structural and heavy-duty fastening applications. It features a 3-1/4 inch length under head with partial threading, conforming to ASTM A325 standards. Manufactured from uncoated steel at material grade A325, this bolt delivers the tensile strength required for structural connections in steel-to-steel assemblies. The hex head drive style is compatible with standard wrenches and impact tools. This bolt is appropriate for contractors, ironworkers, and general trade professionals working on structural steel projects.

This bolt is suited for structural steel connections in commercial and industrial construction, including beam-to-column connections, steel framing, and bolted moment frames. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads across the joint, a design characteristic critical in high-load structural applications. Installation is typically performed by ironworkers or structural steel contractors in accordance with AISC and RCSC specifications for high-strength bolts.

Key Features

• Thread size 1/2-13 UNC for compatibility with standard nuts and tapped holes
• 3-1/4 inch length under head for structural grip requirements
• Partially threaded shank allows the bolt body to carry shear loads
• Grade A325 steel meets ASTM A325 structural bolt standards
• Bright/uncoated finish for use in dry or protected structural environments

Compatibility

Designed as a structural replacement or new-installation hex head bolt for applications requiring ASTM A325 high-strength fasteners in 1/2-13 UNC threaded assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified ironworkers or structural contractors following RCSC Specification for Structural Joints Using High-Strength Bolts. Snug-tighten the bolt before applying any final tensioning method such as turn-of-nut, calibrated wrench, or direct tension indicator. Do not reuse A325 bolts that have been fully tensioned, as they may not be reused in structural joints per RCSC guidelines. Always verify nut and washer compatibility with the bolt grade prior to installation.
