HEX BOLTS
ASTM F3125 Grade A490 Heavy Hex Structural Bolts
A490 heavy hex structural bolts for engineered steel connections with matched assembly requirements.

Product Overview
Grade A490 heavy hex bolts are specified for structural steel connections that require this bolting grade and style. Procurement should cover the complete joint requirement, including compatible nuts and washers, inspection documentation and the installation method. An A490 bolt is not a direct replacement for another structural grade solely because the diameter and length match.
For an accurate quotation, specify the thread size, nominal length, material requirement and surface finish, together with the intended mating component. Dimensions, inspection requirements and the exact material and finish combination must be agreed before order confirmation.
