Hexagon Head Bolts Frequently Asked Questions:
What are hex bolts used for?
Hex head bolts are commonly used in structural construction, machinery assembly, and automotive repair. Their six-sided head allows for easy tightening using a wrench or socket.
Do I need washers and nuts with hex bolts?
Yes. Washers distribute pressure, while hex nuts secure the assembly. Always ensure thread compatibility.
Are stainless steel hex bolts suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, especially in marine, garden or exposed environments. Stainless steel resists rust and provides a long-lasting finish.
