Hex bolts (six sided heads) are the industry standard for fasteners with forged heads. ASTM A307 grade A bolts, all SAE hex bolts, and several other common specifications require a standard (finished) hex head. For specifications such as A307 grade B, A325 and A490 that require a heavy hex pattern, refer to dimensional tolerances for heavy hex bolts  or   structural bolts.


Applications

Hex bolts can be used for many different applications that include fastening, wood, steel and other construction materials for projects such as docks, bridges, highway structures and buildings. Hex bolts with forged heads are also commonly used as headed anchor bolts.


Manufacturing

Fastindo Wiratama manufactures hex bolts from 1/2″ diameter through 2-1/2″ diameter in most ASTM, AASHTO, and SAE specifications. Special tooling can be created to produce nonstandard head dimensions or bolt heads with your company’s name and/or logo.
