Material & Finish: Low-carbon steel (Grade 2/A307 equivalent) with zinc plating for moderate rust protection; tensile strength ~55,000–60,000 PSI. Upgrades to Grade 5 (~85,000 PSI) or 8 (~150,000 PSI) for heavier loads.
Thread Specs: 3/8"-16 UNC (coarse thread, 16 threads per inch); partially threaded (~1" thread length, 1" shank) for balanced performance in joints. Thread class 2A for precise fit.
Head Design: Hexagonal head (9/16" across flats) with integrated washer face and chamfered edges for even load distribution and minimal surface marring; head height ~0.226"–0.243".
Drive Style: External hex for 9/16" wrench or socket; provides high torque (up to 35 ft-lbs. for Grade 2) without internal drive tools.
Dimensions: Diameter: 3/8"; overall length: 2" (from under head to tip); shank length: ~1"; thread length: ~1".
Strength & Load: Proof load ~7,000–8,500 lbs. (Grade 2); ideal for medium-duty uses like equipment mounting or framing. Shear strength ~10,000 PSI.
