Hex cap screws and hex bolts feature a hexagonal head that is utilized during the tightening of the fastener. A hex cap screw utilizes a washer face under the head and a chamfered end, while the hex bolts lack those features and requires a nut. These fasteners are commonly used in construction, machine parts, and maintenance repairs. Hex cap screws and hex bolts are manufactured in variety of sizes, finishes, grades, and materials depending on application.
Hex Head Cap Screws are designed for easy assembly into a tapped hole. Hex Cap Screws meet SAE specifications with a specially designed washer face under the head and a chamfered point. Grade 5 is the most common grade used in manufacturing assembly. Plain finish, or bare metal, will have a coating of light oil to resist corrosion. Tensile Strength: 120,000 psi minimum.
