Why Choose Hex Flange Bolts?
- 🔩 Load Distribution: The serrated flange spreads the load over a wider area, protecting the surface beneath the bolt.
- 🔒 Reduced Loosening: Serrated design enhances grip, minimizing the risk of the bolt loosening over time and ensuring joint stability.
- 🔧 Elimination of Washers: Simplifies assembly by removing the need for separate washers, saving time and materials.
- 💎 Durability: Flanged fasteners are more resistant to deformation and maintain clamp force better than standard washers, ensuring long-lasting connections.
- 💪 Enhanced Load Bearing: Distributes load evenly to prevent surface damage, extending the lifespan of your assemblies.
- 🔧 Improved Joint Integrity: Maintains consistent preload, reducing joint failure risks and ensuring reliable performance.
- ⏱️ Time-Saving: Streamlines assembly processes by eliminating the need for additional washers, enhancing overall efficiency.

Hex Flange Screws vs. Standard Screws with Washers
Feature | Hex Flange Screws | Standard Screws with Washers |
---|---|---|
Load Distribution | Serrated flange spreads load evenly | Separate washers required |
Loosening Risk | Minimized with serrated flange design | Higher risk without additional locking mechanisms |
Assembly Efficiency | Simplified without needing washers | Requires additional washers |
Durability | More resistant to deformation | Washers can deform under high stress |
Applications
- Construction and Automotive: Securing structural components and automotive parts where strength is essential.
- Manufacturing: Assembling machinery and equipment in industrial settings.
- Engineering: Precision fastening in engineering projects requiring reliable connections.
- Metal to Metal Fastening: Ideal for attaching truck bodies to frames and other metal assemblies.
- Wood Applications: Hex flange lag screws resist wood pull-through, creating tighter bonds.
Technical Insights
Hex flange screws eliminate the need for traditional washers by integrating a serrated flange that distributes load and enhances grip. This design improves torque-tension characteristics, ensuring consistent preload and reducing joint failure risks. Unlike standard washers, serrated flanged screws resist plastic deformation under high compressive stress, maintaining clamp force and joint integrity even in short grip length joints.
