Nylon 6/6 Hex Bolt, 3/8"-16, 6" Length (Pack of 100)

Hex bolts have a chamfered point to aid insertion into a tapped hole or nut. Length is measured from under the head.Nylon 6/6 is a general purpose thermoplastic with outstanding resistance to organic chemicals, acids and alkalis. Nylon wears well against other surfaces; it is readily machinable and may be milled, turned and cut with conventional machine tools. It does exhibit some dimensional swelling in wet applications which should be taken into account with its use. Tensile strength of this material is 12,000 psi (pounds per square inch).Hex head fasteners can be driven with simple wrenches, and require minimal clearance above the fastener because they can be driven or loosened from the side.A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.

• Hex Bolts feature a chamfered point
• Nylon 6/6 is suitable where non-conductivity, corrosion resistance, and cost are important considerations
• Hex head for easy driving
• Length is measured from under the head
• Coarse threads are better for brittle materials, and will assemble and disassemble more quickly than fine threads
