Hillman Zinc Hex Tap Bolt 5/16" X 3"

Hillman Zinc Hex Tap Bolt 5/16" x 3"

This Hillman zinc-plated hex tap bolt measures 5/16" x 3" and is a fully threaded machine bolt made to hold facing materials firmly together and prevent shear movement. It is made from grade 2 steel, which suits most general-purpose applications, and the zinc plating gives moderate protection against rust and corrosion in typical use. The coarse 5/16"-18 thread runs the full length of the shank, so the bolt can handle a wide range of material thicknesses. It is well suited to wood-to-wood, wood-to-metal and metal-to-metal fastening in construction, agricultural and automotive projects. The hex head tightens easily with a wrench or socket.
