Electro-Plated Galvanized High Tensile Full Thread Hex Head Bolt – UNC (Compliant with BS 18.2 (1768)
Key Features:
- High-Tensile Material: Constructed from steel that has been rigorously tested to withstand the highest amounts of tension and shear, ensuring a secure and lasting fit for critical connections.
- Full Threading: Offers versatile use and a secure fit across the bolt’s entire length, making it ideal for applications where the bolt is required to pass through two or more elements and be secured with a nut on the opposite end.
- Hexagonal Head Design: Provides a robust interface for wrenching, allowing for the application of high torque, which is crucial for ensuring a clamp load that is sufficient to keep the joint secure.
- Electro-Plated Galvanization: This protective finish not only safeguards the bolt against rust and corrosion but also adds to the product’s longevity, even in challenging environments.
- Compliance with British Standards: Meets the specifications of BS 18.2 (1768) for dimensional accuracy, material properties, and overall design, assuring users of its quality and reliability for construction and engineering applications.
Applications:
Ideal for structural applications in construction, infrastructure development, and various industrial assemblies, where the full-thread engagement provides a solid and adjustable grip over the entire length of the bolt.
Installation Advice:
- Use matching UNC nuts and washers that confirm to the same or higher grade to ensure a consistent strength across the fastened joint.
- Apply the appropriate torque as per industry standards, using calibrated tools to avoid over-tightening and potential damage to the bolt or the assembly.
Maintenance Tips:
- Regular inspections should be performed to monitor the integrity of the bolt, particularly in applications where the joint is subject to dynamic loads or corrosive elements.
- Maintain records of installation torque and periodic checks to facilitate consistent maintenance and replacement schedules.
The Electro-Plated Galvanized High Tensile Full Thread Hex Head Bolt – UNC is the fastener of choice for demanding applications requiring robust performance, extensive thread engagement, and heightened resistance to environmental degradation. Its adherence to BS 18.2 (1768) standards makes it a reliable component for securing critical connections.
