A4 Stainless Steel UNF Bolts

Commonly referred to as a setscrew and longer versions are referred to in the United States as a tap bolt. A standard spanner or ratchet is typically used to fit this product. Used for decades on all types of assembly throughout the world. The hex drive allows a higher torque to be applied. Produced to ASME B18.2.1.

The most common type of fastener, a hex head bolt is designed to be tightened with a standard spanner or ratchet and socket. Popularly used in all assemblies, a standard hex bolt is a staple across the world. Manufactured to ASME B18. 2.1, and includes an unthreaded 'shoulder' or portion of the shank. A hex drive permits a greater torque load to be applied to the joint over most other drive types.

Also known as an Allen screw or Allen bolt, or simply a cap screw, socket head cap screws are a more modern alternative standard machine fastener to the standard hexagon headed bolt or setscrew, as found on much modern machinery. A hex key (otherwise known as an Allen key) is required to fit these fasteners. Conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3, the contact surfaces of this screw or bolt are protected from external damage. Generally manufactured with a partial thread beyond a certain length and nominal diameter combination, but occasionally some stock may include a fully threaded shank at the same combination.

A countersunk headed screw conforming with ASME/ANSI B18.3, requiring a hex key (otherwise known as an Allen key) to fit. The countersunk head is typically used in conjunction with a countersunk hole providing a flush, snag free fit. Generally manufactured with a full thread, though occasionally some stock may include a partially threaded shank.
