    B8M

    Resist corrosion and meet ASTM standards for use in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Also known as pressure bolts, these screws are often used to secure pressure tanks, valves, and flanges. They're also good for cold temperatures. With a head that's about 10% wider than standard hex head screws, they handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. The head also has six flat sides to keep wrenches and sockets from slipping and rounding off the drive.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant ASTM Grade B8M 316 Stainless Steel—Stand up to rust and corrosion better than 18-8 stainless steel. These screws are often used near salt water, on ships, and in plants that handle harsh chemicals.
    Grip Length—Screws with a grip length have a precisely measured unthreaded section under the head, called a grip. It's stronger than the threaded section, so you can place it in joints exposed to sideways forces.

    Heavy-Profile Hex Nuts for High-Pressure Applications

    These nuts are hardened, so they maintain their strength under high pressure and temperature. Pair them with ASTM A193 screws to fasten critical components, such as valves and flanges, in pressure tanks, boilers, and heat exchangers. About 10% wider and taller than standard-profile hex nuts, these handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area.

With a head that's about 10% wider than standard hex head screws, they handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. The head also has six flat sides to keep wrenches and sockets from slipping and rounding off the drive.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    High-Strength Fastener—Commonly used to fasten components in valves, pumps, motors, and other high-stress applications. These screws have a tensile strength of 125,000 to 160,000 psi.
    ASTM Grade B7—A reliable option for high-temperature machinery, such as boilers, steam turbines, and oil well equipment.
    Steel—Unfinished steel screws are best for dry environments, since moisture will cause them to rust. They require little surface prep before applying a finish, so you can apply your own paint or coating.
    Grip Length—Screws with a grip length have a precisely measured unthreaded section under the head, called a grip. It's stronger than the threaded section, so you can place it in joints exposed to sideways forces.

    With tensile strengths from 110,000 psi to 125,000 psi, these rods are strong enough for most industrial applications, such as anchoring machinery and connecting pipe flanges. They are about twice as strong as low-strength steel rods. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your nuts are also medium-strength steel.

    Cold worked or heat treated, these rods are about 40% stronger than our other stainless steel rods. All are more corrosion resistant than steel rods and comparable in strength to medium-strength steel.
    Wear-Resistant 410 Stainless Steel—Threads won’t strip from repeated fastening and loosening. These rods are not as corrosion resistant as 18-8 and 316 stainless steel, so they are best for environments that experience occasional moisture.

    These nuts are about 20% stronger than high-strength steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel—Combines the strength of steel with the rust resistance of stainless steel. These nuts are an economical alternative to 18-8 stainless steel in wet and outdoor environments, but they won't hold up to salt water and chemicals. The galvanized finish is thicker than other types of coatings, so the threads may be more likely to stick during installation. Use with other hot-dipped galvanized fasteners.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.
    PTFE-Coated Steel—A slippery PTFE coating prevents these nuts from becoming stuck during installation. They resist rust in wet and outdoor environments, however they're not recommended for prolonged exposure since the coating can wear off.

    Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    Versatile yet economical, these are the most commonly used locknuts. The nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration without damaging threads. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

    Threaded Rod and Hex Nut Kits for Pipe Flanges

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Threaded Rods. Threaded Rod and Hex Nut Kits for Pipe Flanges.
    These kits include the rods and nuts you need to connect standard-size pipe flanges. Their heavy duty material and construction keep tanks, valves, and flanges tightly sealed under heavy pressure. With a 10% wider profile than standard hex nuts, these hex nuts spread force over a larger area and can handle extra torque during installation. The rods are fully threaded to distribute and absorb high levels of clamping force. To ensure your pipe flange connection is tight, add a pipe flange gasket to your installation. These rods and nuts meet a number of rigorous industry specifications for high-pressure performance, high-temperature performance, and dimensional requirements.

    Hoist Rings—For Lifting

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hoist Rings. Hoist Rings—For Lifting.
    Designed for angular lifting, hoist rings resist stresses that would bend or break an eyebolt. They have a lifting ring that pivots 180° front to back and a base that swivels 360° to compensate for pitch, roll, and sway when lifting heavy or unbalanced loads. Install the base of the hoist ring flush to the mounting surface and tighten to the recommended torque that is stamped on the ring. Torque wrenches are sold separately.
    Note: Capacities listed are for vertical lifting only. As the lift angle changes from vertical, the amount of weight the hoist ring can lift is significantly reduced. For example, when lifting a 1,000 lb. load at a 45° angle, you must choose a hoist ring with a capacity of at least 1,400 lbs. Do not use at an angle less than 30°.
    Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.
    Machined—Machined hoist rings have a smooth finish to protect slings and hooks from damage and excess wear during lifting.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Best for dry environments. These hoist rings have a dark, matte coating for a finished look.
    CE Marked—Hoist rings that are CE marked meet European safety standards.

Also known as Heli-Coil inserts, they're often used in engine heads and machinery housings where strong connections are critical.

    Installation requires a drill bit, a helical insert tap, and an installation tool.
