Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Grade 8.8 and 10.9 for a 14 mm hex bolt?
Grade 8.8 is a medium-strength carbon steel bolt with a tensile strength of 800 MPa and a yield strength of 640 MPa. Grade 10.9 is a high-strength alloy steel bolt with a tensile strength of 1000 MPa and a yield strength of 900 MPa. Choose 10.9 for applications with higher load and stress requirements.
Can I get a 14 mm hex bolt with a corrosion-resistant finish for outdoor use?
Absolutely. For outdoor or corrosive environments (e.g., marine, chemical), we recommend our hot-dip galvanized (HDG) or A4/A2 stainless steel variants. HDG provides a thick, sacrificial zinc coating, while stainless steel offers excellent all-around corrosion resistance.
Do you offer partial threading or full threading on these bolts?
We supply both styles. Partially threaded bolts (e.g., DIN 931) have an unthreaded shank under the head, which is stronger in shear. Fully threaded bolts (e.g., DIN 933) are threaded along the entire length, useful where adjustment or a nut is needed along any point. Specify your requirement when ordering.
What is the standard packaging for bulk orders?
Standard bulk packaging is in sturdy, sealed cartons or boxes, with inner plastic bags for moisture protection. We can also accommodate specific packaging requests such as master cartons with individual smaller boxes, poly bags on rolls, or palletized shipments for large volumes.
How do I determine the correct length of a 14 mm hex bolt for my application?
The ideal length is calculated so that the bolt's threaded portion fully engages the nut (at least one diameter length of threads) and protrudes slightly (1-2 threads). The formula generally is: Bolt Length = Material Thickness + Washer Thickness + Nut Height + Allowance for Protrusion. Our technical team can assist with this calculation.
