    What is a Hex Bolt?

    Hex bolts are a type of threaded bolt, characterised by their six-sided hexagonal-shaped head. Hex bolts can be either fully threaded or partially threaded (featuring a clear shank along part of the body) and are suitable for use in a wide range of applications, typically machinery and construction.

    They are available in a choice of types, sizes, materials and finishes, providing the freedom and flexibility to select the bolt best suited to your particular task or application. Hex bolts are sometimes also known as hex head bolts or hexagon bolts, again due to their distinctive head shape.

    What are Hex Bolts Used for?

    Hex head bolts are versatile and adaptable fasteners, making them suitable for a variety of uses across a range of industries and applications. Example hex bolt uses include hex head screws for wood, metal, and many other environments and scenarios.

    They offer strong tensile properties and most standard types can be used in multiple locations (dependent upon the material and finish). As a result, hex bolts are a widely used staple fastener.

    Their primary use is for heavy-duty fixing and fastening applications. This could include:

    • Within construction projects
    • During the erection, repair, and maintenance of buildings, bridges, and road infrastructure
    • Machinery assemblies
    • Woodworking tasks such as fastening frames
    • Engineering applications
    • Vehicle and automotive

    How Do Hex Bolts Work?

    Hex bolts can be used either in pre-tapped holes or with nuts, depending on the application. They can then be tightened using a range of tools including a hex bolt wrenchsocket setsspannershex keys, and ratchet spanners.

    The hexagon-shaped head ensures that it is easy to grip hex bolts from multiple angles, using different types of tool. This makes their installation and removal a straightforward process, plus ensuring it is also easy to loosen or tighten hex bolts once they are in situ.

    Types of Hex Bolts

    Various different types of hex bolts are available, each best suited to different applications and environments. Hex bolts can be categorised in a number of different ways – chiefly their sizing, the material or finish used in their manufacture, and whether they are fully or partially threaded.

    The following sections provide further detail on some of the key hex bolt types, giving you the knowledge you need in order to make a fully-informed buying decision.

    Hex Bolt Threading

    The thread of a hex head bolt, also known as the screw thread, is the helical structure which comprises the main body of the bolt. It uses rotational force to drive the bolt firmly and securely into place, helping to provide easier entrance and exit into the material whilst also providing added grip. Both fully-threaded and partially-threaded hex bolts are available.
