A hex head bolt, also known as a hex bolt, is a type of fastener characterised by its hexagonal (six-sided) head. This design allows for easy turning with a spanner or a socket. Hex head bolts are used to create a strong and secure connection between materials and are designed to be used with a matching nut and washer. They are frequently used in construction projects for securing wooden beams, metal frames, and concrete structures.
A coach bolt, also known as a carriage bolt, features a round, domed head with a square section underneath that prevents the bolt from turning when a nut is tightened. These bolts are used to secure wood to wood or wood to metal connections, providing a strong and reliable hold. Commonly utilised in woodworking projects, fencing, and decking; coach bolts offer both strength and a good looking finish.
A coach screw features a hexagonal head that allows for easy turning with a spanner or socket. Designed for joining heavy timber or affixing metal to wood, these screws provide a strong, secure connection often needing a pilot hole. Unlike bolts, coach screws do not protrude through the materials they fasten, ensuring a neat finish.
Nuts, washers, and rods are essential components to accompany bolts. Nuts are typically hexagonal with internal threads, used to secure bolts and screws, providing a strong and reliable connection. Washers are thin, flat discs with a central hole, designed to distribute the load of threaded fasteners, reduce surface wear, and improve fastening connections by offering a larger bearing surface. Rods, also known as threaded rods or studs, are long, straight bars with continuous threading, used to connect and secure materials over a distance.
