What Are Flange Bolts?

Flange bolts are a type of threaded fastener that incorporates an integral washer-like flange beneath the bolt head. This flange serves multiple purposes, including providing a broader load-bearing surface, acting as a built-in washer, and distributing the load over a larger area. Flange bolts are commonly used in applications where a wide bearing surface and increased stability are required. Xinchi Fastener Company is willing to share some key features of flange bolts.

Flanged Head:

The distinctive feature of flange bolts is the built-in flange beneath the bolt head. This flange is circular and larger in diameter than the bolt shank, providing a wider load-bearing surface.

Integrated Washer:

The flange effectively acts as an integrated washer, eliminating the need for a separate washer in the assembly. This simplifies the installation process and ensures consistent load distribution.

Hexagonal Head:

Flange bolts typically have a hexagonal (hex) head, making them compatible with standard hex wrenches or socket wrenches for tightening.

Threaded Shaft:

Like standard bolts, flange bolts have a threaded shaft that allows them to be securely fastened into a threaded hole or paired with a nut for a tight connection.
