1" x 8 TPI UNC Coarse Plain Black Uncoated Raised Head Plow Bolt Only High Tensile Hobson

About Plow Bolts

Plow Bolts have a countersunk, low-profile head with a square section directly underneath. The head sits flush with the mating surface and the square neck grips the bolt hole to resist turning while the nut is tightened from behind. The flush head leaves no protrusion above the working face. Used to fix cutting edges, wear plates, grader blades, bucket teeth and ground-engaging tools on earthmoving and agricultural equipment.

Recommended use Indoor, oiled or sacrificial-wear applications where the fastener is replaced periodically. Common in machinery internals, ground-engaging equipment subject to wear, and any high-tensile assembly that will be painted, oiled or sealed after install.

Frequently Asked Questions

Material & Coating

Plain Black Uncoated Carbon steel. No corrosion protection. The dark colour is a thin oxide layer from the heat treatment process, not a corrosion barrier. Appearance varies from light grey to dark black across batches due to the heat treatment process, so colour consistency is not guaranteed between orders.

Important Will corrode rapidly in any wet or humid environment. NOT suitable for outdoor or coastal use without a separate coating.

Grade Imperial fasteners are classified as grade 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12. See the head marking chart and full strength table.

Thread Pitch & Terminology

Thread Pitch (Imperial) Imperial fasteners measure thread pitch as TPI (threads per inch), the number of thread peaks per inch of fastener length. Imperial systems include UNC (coarse), UNF (fine), BSW (Whitworth) and BSF (British Standard Fine). This product has 8 TPI, meaning 8 thread peaks per inch.

How to Measure

Fastener Length This product has a flush-fitting head, so the length is measured as the overall length - from the tip of the thread to the top of the head. The head is included in the size.

Thread Length On a bolt the thread length runs from the start of the unthreaded section (called the shank) to the end of the thread. To view the thread length for this product, select a length above.
