Value Collection R50000217 Plow Bolt 3/8-16 Unc Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000217 is a Grade 5 steel plow bolt designed for heavy-duty fastening applications where a flush or countersunk head profile is required. With a 3/8-16 UNC thread size and a 2-inch overall length (OAL), this bolt meets ASME/ANSI B18.9 and SAE J429 standards, making it suitable for structural and agricultural equipment assembly. The uncoated steel finish is compatible with field painting or coating after installation. This fastener is installed by millwrights, equipment technicians, and maintenance professionals working on blades, earth-moving attachments, and similar heavy equipment.

Plow bolts are commonly used in agricultural and construction equipment where a low-profile, flush-mounted fastener prevents interference with soil, aggregate, or other materials. The flat countersunk head seats flush against the mounting surface, reducing snagging and wear on adjacent components. This bolt is appropriate for use in wear plate assemblies, dozer blades, grader blades, conveyor frames, and similar structural joints where Grade 5 tensile strength is required.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction meets SAE J429 tensile strength requirements
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for standard unified coarse thread fitment
• 2-inch overall length suits medium-depth wear plate and blade installations
• Flush countersunk head profile reduces material interference and snagging
• Uncoated finish compatible with field-applied coatings or galvanic protection
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.9 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement plow bolt for agricultural and construction equipment assemblies requiring a 3/8-16 UNC Grade 5 fastener with a 2-inch OAL and ASME/ANSI B18.9 dimensional compliance.

Installation Notes

Plow bolts are typically installed by equipment mechanics and maintenance technicians using standard hand or impact tools. Always de-energize, lock out, and support the equipment fully before replacing wear plates or blade hardware. Mating nuts should be Grade 5 or higher and torqued per the equipment manufacturer's fastener specifications. Inspect mating surfaces for wear or deformation before installing new fasteners.
