Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between a Grade 5 and a Grade 8, 2 hex bolt?
A: The grade indicates the bolt's material strength. A Grade 5 bolt (medium carbon steel) has a minimum tensile strength of 120,000 PSI. A Grade 8 bolt (medium carbon alloy steel) is stronger, with a minimum tensile strength of 150,000 PSI. Grade 8 bolts are used for more critical, high-stress applications.
Q2: Can you provide corrosion-resistant 2 hex bolts for marine environments?
A: Absolutely. For severe environments like marine or chemical processing, we recommend our A4-80 (316 stainless steel) 2 hex bolts or carbon steel bolts with a high-performance coating like Geomet® or hot-dip galvanizing for maximum protection.
Q3: Do you offer matching nuts and washers?
A: Yes, we provide complete fastener kits. We can supply hex nuts, lock nuts, flat washers, and spring washers that are grade-matched and finish-matched to your selected 2 hex bolt to ensure optimal joint performance.
Q4: What is the lead time for custom or large volume orders?
A: Lead times vary based on specification and quantity. For standard items, we often ship from stock. For custom large orders, our typical production lead time is 4-8 weeks. We provide firm timelines upon order confirmation and keep you updated throughout the process.
Q5: How do I determine the correct length for my application?
A: A general rule is that the bolt should be long enough so that the full thread protrudes through the nut. The ideal length is the total grip length (thickness of materials being clamped) plus the allowance for the nut and washer. Our technical team can assist you with precise calculations for your specific joint design.
