When selecting bolts for fastening solutions, it's crucial to match the bolt type with the specific application. This ensures optimal performance and safety.
Identifying Common Bolt Types
Hex Bolts
Hex bolts are characterized by their hexagonal heads, making them easy to install with a wrench or socket. They are versatile and commonly used in construction and machinery due to their robust design.
Carriage Bolts
Carriage bolts feature a rounded head with a square neck that prevents rotation during installation. They are typically used in wood applications, providing a smooth finish on one side.
Lag Bolts
Lag bolts, also known as lag screws, are large wood screws with hex heads. They are ideal for heavy-duty applications such as securing large timbers or posts into wood.
