What grade are Home Depot Hex bolts?

Grade 8

Grade 8 – Hex Bolts – Bolts – The Home Depot.

How can you tell if a bolt is grade 8?

English bolts have radial lines on their head to identify the grade, or strength class. The number of lines on the bolt head is 2 less than the actual grade. So, for example, a grade 5 bolt will only have 3 radial lines on its head. A grade 8 bolt will have 6 radial lines on its head.

Are Grade 8 bolts the best?

Despite the popular belief, a stainless steel bolt is actually weaker than a grade 8 bolt. In fact, according to the Society of American Engineers (SAE), grade 8 bolts are the strongest and hardest hex bolt you would want to use in constructions or the automotive industry.

Is Grade 8 or 10.9 stronger?

Class 10.9 is stronger than class 8.8. It is commonly found in high strength automotive applications. Class 10.9 is similar to grade 8.

Are stainless bolts stronger than Grade 8?

Stainless Steel Grades & Strength
Bolt strength is rated in PSI (pounds per square inch). A stainless steel bolt has the same PSI rating as a grade 5 bolt (125,000 PSI). A grade 8 bolt has a stronger rating with a PSI of 150,000.

What grade are Home Depot zinc bolts?

Grade 5 – Bolts – Fasteners – The Home Depot.

Is Grade 8 or 12.9 stronger?

Used in high stress environments, grade 12.9 fasteners are the highest class of metric cap screws. Where Grade 8 fasteners have a 150,000 psi tensile strength, 12.9 fasteners have a 180,000 psi tensile strength, making them more durable than the grade 5.

What is the strongest grade bolt?

grade 8

Grade 9 Bolts
Grade 9 structural bolts, also known as grade 9 hex cap screws, are one the strongest structural bolts that can be used today. While the typical grade 8 bolt has a tensile strength of 150,000 PSI, a grade 9 bolt has a tensile strength of 180,000PSI.

How many pounds can a Grade 8 bolt hold?

150,000 lbs

Grade 8 bolts are designated as a 150 ksi. This means its tensile strength or the resistance it has before it is subject to breaking under tension is equal to 150,000 lbs.

Should I use Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolts?

Grade 8 bolts have been hardened more than grade 5 bolts. Thus they are stronger and are used in demanding applications such as automotive suspensions. Grade 8 bolts have 6 evenly spaced radial lines on the head.

Is there a grade 10 bolt?

Class 10. This is a metric nut grading similar to the SAE grade 8 classification, which is used in conjunction with Class 10.9 bolts. This strength of nut is used in automotive, and structural industries, as well as in high temp applications.

Is Class 8 and Grade 8 the same?

Q: I’m specifying the strength of a metric fastener and need your help. Is Class 8.8 the same as Grade 8? A: The answer is no. Class 8.8 is not the same as Grade 8.

What is the hardest bolt you can buy?

BUMAX® Ultra has proven itself as the world’s strongest bolt – in various highly-demanding critical fastener applications around the world where standard fasteners are simply inadequate.
