Value Collection IEH4310 Aluminum Sex Bolt Binding Post 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION IEH4310 is an aluminum sex bolt binding post with an 8-32 UNC thread and a slotted truss head profile. Sex bolts, also called barrel bolts or Chicago screws, consist of a threaded barrel and a mating screw that clamp material between two faces when assembled. This post features a 0.625 inch barrel length and a 0.375 inch screw length, giving an overall assembled length of approximately 0.72 inches. The uncoated aluminum construction keeps weight minimal at 0.01 pounds per piece. These fasteners are installed by hand or with a flat-blade screwdriver and require no tapping of the base material.

Aluminum sex bolt binding posts are used in a wide range of light-duty fastening applications including signage, binders, leather goods, menu covers, book binding, and panel assembly where a clean finished appearance on both faces is required. The truss head profile distributes clamping load over a broader surface area, reducing the risk of pull-through in softer substrates. The uncoated finish is suitable for indoor applications and environments where corrosion exposure is minimal. These are sold individually but carry a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Insert the barrel through the material from the rear face, then thread the mating screw in from the front face and tighten until snug. Do not overtighten aluminum fasteners, as the soft material is susceptible to thread stripping under excessive torque. Verify total material stack thickness falls within the usable thread engagement range before ordering.
