Hex Bolt vs Carriage Bolt — Which One Should You Use?

Not all bolts are created equal. When you're choosing hardware for your next project, understanding the difference between a hex bolt and a carriage bolt can save time, stress, and even improve the final look.

So, hex bolt vs carriage bolt — what’s the deal?

Hex bolts have six-sided heads and are ideal when you need access from both sides for tightening. They're rugged, versatile, and often used in heavy-duty construction.

Carriage bolts feature a domed head and square neck, locking into wood to prevent spinning. They’re perfect for visible applications where a clean, finished look matters.

At Old West Iron, we carry both styles in hand-forged and machine-cut finishes to match your rustic, industrial, or historic project. Choose function and style — down to the bolt.

Comprehensive Guide to Hex Bolt Types: Dimensions, Uses, and Bolt Head Size Chart

Hex bolts (sometimes referred to as hex head bolts) are essential components in numerous industries, from construction and automotive to manufacturing and more. With their multipurpose six-sided heads and durable designs, hex bolts serve a multitude of fastening applications; understanding their various types, dimensions and applications is crucial when choosing an ideal fastener for any given project.

This article will examine different types of hex bolts, their dimensions, uses, and how a bolt head size chart can ensure precision and reliability in your applications.

What Are Hex Bolts?

A hex bolt is a threaded fastener with a hexagonal head designed for tightening or loosening with wrench or socket, ideal for easy gripping and torque application, making them suitable for strong and secure fastening in many applications.

Key Features of Hex Bolts:

A hexagonal head provides easy handling and tightening. An threaded shaft ensures a secure fastening mechanism. Material Options are carbon steel, stainless steel, brass and alloy steel options available for purchase.

Variety of Finishes: Finish options may include zinc plating, galvanization and black oxide for corrosion protection.

Common Hex Bolt Types

1. Fully Threaded Hex Bolts

These bolts feature threads running along their entire shaft to provide a strong hold on lightweight assemblies, including electrical equipment, furniture and automotive components. Typical applications: electrical equipment, furniture and automotive components.

Advantages: Excellent choice for applications requiring full thread engagement.

2. Partially Threaded Hex Bolts

These partially threaded hex bolts offer increased tensile and shear strength. With smooth surfaces near their head and threads on other parts of their shaft, these bolts have increased tensile and shear strengths and can withstand higher loads than regular bolts; suitable applications include structural connections and heavy machinery applications as well as stress concentration reduction on threads.

3. Hex Lag Bolts

Latch bolts (also called "lag screws") are large hex bolts with coarse threads designed for heavy-duty wood applications like deck building and framing, outdoor structures and outdoor structures. Ideal for high-load wood-to-wood connections.

4. Flange Hex Bolts

These bolts feature an integral washer-like flange under their head to evenly distribute load and eliminate the need for separate washers. Applications: Automotive assembly and machinery production machinery. Advantages: Convenient assembly in vibration-prone environments without loosening.

5. Hex Head Screws

Commonly confused with hex bolts, hex head screws are threaded fasteners designed to connect pre-threaded holes or nuts in light-duty assemblies and electronics applications. Incorporating precision and versatility for small scale applications.

6. High-Tensile Hex Bolts mes Crafted from alloy steel, these bolts are specifically engineered for industrial uses with extreme loads and stress levels in mind. Applications include construction projects involving heavy machinery or infrastructure. Their benefits include handling extreme loads and stresses with ease and being suitable for numerous other industries as well as infrastructure initiatives.

Hex Bolt Dimensions and Charts

Understanding hex head bolt dimensions is essential for meeting project specifications. Bolt dimensions encompass factors like thread size, shaft length and head size which all impact how a bolt performs.

Bolt Head Size Chart

A Bolt Head Size Chart is an effective resource for selecting the appropriate wrench or socket to use on a given hex bolt. This typically includes: Nominal Bolt Diameter: The diameter of its threaded portion.

Head Width Across Flats (A/F): The distance across a hexagonal head's parallel sides. Its Head Height: This measures the thickness of its bolt head.

For precision projects, always refer to an accurate hex head bolt dimensions chart that matches industry standards such as ISO, ANSI or DIN.

Hex Bolt Materials and Finishes Available for Custom Applications

Common Materials for General Applications: [Carbon Steel is strong and cost-effective for general uses], while stainless steel provides corrosion-resistance that's ideal for outdoor and marine environments, while brass provides non-corrosive, non-magnetic options that can be used both electrically and decoratively.

Alloy Steel: Ideal material for industrial uses due to its high tensile strength.

Popular Finishes: ZINC PLATING provides corrosion resistance at an economical cost. Hot-Dip Galvanization delivers maximum rust protection for outdoor use. Finally, Black Oxide Coating gives an elegant appearance with moderate corrosion protection.

How to Select the Appropriate Hex Bolts (Step by Step Guide)

Selecting an ideal hex head bolt requires taking into account your project's particular requirements:

1. Load Requirements: For heavy loads and stress applications, select bolts with high tensile strength.

2. Environmental Conditions: In environments prone to corrosion or outdoors use, choose bolts made of stainless steel or galvanized metal for best performance.

3. Thread Types: Fully threaded bolts are ideal for lightweight assemblies, while partially threaded ones offer greater structural strength.

4. Bolt Dimensions: To ensure compatibility between tools and design requirements, and bolt head sizes, use a bolt size chart.

5. Ease of Installation: Flange bolts reduce assembly time by eliminating the need for washers; on the other hand, lag bolts are ideal for wood projects.

Hex Bolt Applications

Hex bolts have many applications across industries, such as construction: Securing beams, columns and foundation supports; automotive: Engine assembly, suspension systems and chassis components; machinery: Fastening heavy industrial equipment.

DIY Projects: Decks, furniture assembly and home repairs.

Marine and Outdoor Projects: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel bolts are an excellent way to tackle these environments.

This is something I've had to put a lot of thought into since my main wizards Melody and Benny are NOT in fact The Young Wizards of their universe (they don't have one in their universe). Adding their chosen career paths:

Melody would be the wizard equivalent of a landscaper. She's a super avid gardener, and does lots of work to make cities and individual homes look nice (she's also a diviner, and has A Thing about making stuff energy efficient).

Benny becomes a monstrology specialist who's actual job is most akin to someone working in the forest service. Yes, there's some research and rehab involved, but most of it is actually spent on upkeep and creation for the previously established safe spaces for the various dangerous beasts of the world to live, as well as educating other people about these monsters, why their important to a magical ecosystem, and how to keep yourself and them safe (he's basically a parks ranger).

The two of them both chose to go into conservation and nature basically, but Mel went for it in domesticated spaces while Benny went for it in wild spaces.

Since every student of Ravenwood can't be The Young Wizard:tm:, I like to imagine all manner of professions which both alumni and current students like to pick up to make use of their mana for the sake of contributing to their homes, other than immediately becoming scholars

Various inventors guilds that have popped up and collaborated with each other for all manner of creations to benefit the lives of civilians (or, just for the sake of testing the boundaries of knowledge).

Wizards working in local infirmaries and having small medical practices, coming up with unique ways of using healing magic to help magic and non-magic users alike.

Effects specialists, who make use of their powers to help with shows at venues such as Fireglobe Theatre and play around with illusory magic for entertainment purposes

Of course, wizards like Boris Tallstaff who work within local libraries as archivists and assistants– restoring older texts and helping scholars retrieve information thanks to magic sorting systems.

Spiral researchers-- those who study the flora and fauna, and look into the ways magic impacts them. Particularly those who know about the song of creation, seeing the ways in which traces of it can be found in natural settings as a recurring trend, and what this means for the spiral and those living in it.
