Hobson KBCG8ZC0500150 1/2" x 1-1/2" UNC Cup Head Bolt & Nut, Grade 8, Zinc Plated

The Hobson UNC cup head bolt & nut on this page is a domed-head bolt supplied with its nut, in grade 8 with a zinc plated finish. It lists 7 items, from 7/16" x 1-1/2" to 1/2" x 2-1/2", each sold as a box or pack of the quantity shown in the table.

A cup head bolt has a smooth domed head with no drive, so it is tightened from the nut end. Cup head bolts are normally made with a square section under the head that holds the bolt in place while the nut turns.

Hobson lists grade 8 as high tensile, and its class and grade chart pairs imperial grade 8 with metric class 10.9 (manufacturer-stated).

The table gives the minimum tensile strength for each size from the Hobson guide, which is a head-marking table, so treat it as the class or grade minimum and not a test result for the item (manufacturer-stated).

The Hobson acronym list defines UNC as Unified National Coarse Thread and TPI as threads per inch. The table gives the threads per inch from the Hobson thread table, for the sizes it lists (manufacturer-stated).

Pack quantity changes with size and length and is shown for each item. Head diameter, neck size and thread length are not stated in the supplier data used for this page, so check them if they matter for your joint.

Common specifications

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Choose the thread size first, then the length: the bolt has to pass through all the parts, any washer and the nut. The length in the table is the length the supplier gives; for a cup head bolt it is normally measured from under the head to the end of the bolt. Imperial sizes are the nominal diameter in inches; compare the threads per inch in the table with your nut. Strength figures are the class or grade minimums in the Hobson guide, not a test result for the item (manufacturer-stated).
