Industrial Bolts & Threaded Fasteners

Usages for Bolts

Bolts are used in structural steel connections (structural bolts and hex bolts), wood and composite construction (carriage bolts and lag bolts), concrete anchorage (anchor bolts), pressure vessel and flange connections (stud bolts), and mechanical and industrial assembly (Grade 5 and Grade 8 hex bolts). The selection of bolt type, grade, and finish is driven by the joint design requirements — including the load type, the material being joined, the environmental exposure, and the applicable engineering specification or building code.

Bolts serve every industry and application sector — structural and civil engineering, commercial and industrial construction, manufacturing and OEM production, automotive and transportation, agricultural equipment, HVAC and mechanical contracting, electrical construction, and MRO maintenance.
