Heavy Hex Bolts

A heavy hex bolt, also known as a structural bolt or heavy hex structural bolt, is a type of threaded fastener with a distinct hexagonal head and a threaded shaft. What sets heavy hex bolts apart from standard hex bolts is their larger head and thicker shank, providing enhanced strength and durability. These bolts are commonly used in structural and construction applications where the integrity of connections is crucial. Heavy hex bolts are typically made from high-strength steel and are available in various grades, with Grade A325 and Grade A490 being common choices for structural applications. They are designed to withstand substantial loads and forces, making them suitable for connecting structural elements like steel beams, columns, and other components in buildings, bridges, and industrial structures. The larger head of a heavy hex bolt allows for a more secure and stable connection, and the design conforms to specific industry standards and requirements to ensure reliable performance in critical load-bearing situations.
