Fractional Sizes Grade 2 Plain Finish Bolt

Fractional Size Grade 2 Hex Head Cap Screws with Plain Finish

Fractional Size Grade 2 Hex Head Cap Screws with a plain finish are a reliable and economical choice for everyday fastening needs. Designed with a traditional six-sided hex head, these fasteners allow for easy wrench engagement and consistent torque application, making them one of the most commonly used screws across manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and maintenance environments.

Dependable Performance for General-Purpose Applications

Manufactured from low- or medium-carbon steel, Grade 2 hex head cap screws are intended for light- to medium-duty applications where extreme strength is not required. They provide dependable clamping force for wood, plastic, and low-stress metal assemblies, making them ideal for general fabrication, equipment assembly, repairs, and maintenance work. Their straightforward design and balanced strength profile make them easy to install, adjust, and remove as needed.

Plain Finish for Cost Efficiency and Versatility

The plain steel finish offers a cost-effective fastening solution for indoor or dry environments where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern. This uncoated surface is especially valued in applications where secondary finishing—such as painting, coating, or plating—may be required, as it allows for better surface adhesion. Plain finish Grade 2 fasteners are also preferred in controlled environments where appearance and affordability take priority.

Fractional Sizing and Industry Compliance

Available in standard fractional (inch) sizes, these hex head cap screws are fully compatible with U.S. hardware systems. They meet ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards and comply with SAE J429 mechanical property requirements. With a minimum tensile strength of approximately 60,000 psi, increasing up to 74,000 psi when heat-treated, these fasteners deliver consistent, reliable performance in non-critical bolting applications.
