Key specifications

Choosing the right option

Choose the thread form first: the nut must match the bolt in thread form, diameter and pitch. Length is measured from under the head to the end of the bolt. For the bolt on its own: see Hobson UNC Hex Bolt, Grade 8, Plain, 1/4" to 2" x 3/4" to 15", List A.

Plain steel carries no protective coating apart from a light oil film, which is why it rusts quickly if it gets wet. That makes it a good fit for dry indoor work, machinery, and assemblies that are painted, oiled or enclosed after fitting. For anything outdoors or damp, choose a hot dip galvanised or 316 stainless option instead.

UNC is the coarse inch thread, the general-purpose choice; it only mates with UNC nuts and tapped holes of the same diameter. For load-critical, structural or lifting joints, confirm the fastener against the engineer's specification. Fasteners are not lifting rated unless marked.
