Hexagonal Slotted Bolts

Hexagonal slotted bolts are a type of fastener that combines a standard hexagonal head with a straight slot (similar to a flat head screw). They are commonly used in the mechanical and automotive industries. Tighten with a wrench or screwdriver.

Features and parameters

Hexagonal slotted bolts are suitable for places with narrow Spaces such as distribution boards and HVAC systems. They are often used to fix circuit breakers, pipe flanges or control boxes, etc. Because they are made of non-conductive materials, they are safer.

For ships, the hexagon head bolts with slots are corrosion-resistant and the selected tools are very flexible. The grooves of flat-head bolts facilitate the removal of bolts covered with salt deposits, while hexagonal head bolts are suitable for the fastening of heavy deck hardware. The sailors will leave these bolts on the ship for future use.

Outdoor sports enthusiasts use hexagon head bolts with slot on head to fix camping equipment or trailers. The surface treatment method of galvanization can resist the erosion of rain, mud and seawater. They can also be used in amusement park equipment, garage doors and all-terrain vehicle components.

Precautions

Hexagonal slotted bolts in the head can be tightened with a regular screwdriver that matches the shape of the slot, or with a hexagonal wrench.Don't rotate the slot opening with power tools, as it will peel off quickly. The slot is the weak point of the bolt. Be careful not to mix different sizes of notches, as this will damage the tools and bolts.
