Hex Flange Bolts

Compare your fastener to our visual size guide to confirm size, pitch and length.
Match your spanner / socket AF (across-flats) to the size it fits - our reference chart covers every metric and imperial size we stock.
Hex flange bolts have a six-sided head with an integrated washer face on the underside — effectively a built-in washer. The flange distributes the clamp load over a wider bearing area, reduces marking on the parent material, and removes the need for a separate flat washer in the assembly.
Serrated flange bolts go one step further: shallow teeth under the flange bite into the mating surface to resist loosening under vibration. Common in automotive, agricultural and structural steel assembly where vibration is a known risk.
MATERIALS AND FINISHES
Zinc Silver Plated — Bright silver, the default electroplated finish for internal use.
Zinc Yellow Plated — Yellow chromate finish, occasionally specified for automotive.
Stainless Steel — A2-70 G304 for external use, A4-70 G316 for marine.
Plain Black Uncoated — Used on Class 10.9 and 12.9 flange bolts.
GRADES STOCKED
Class 8.8 — The standard high-tensile flange bolt.
Class 10.9 and 12.9 — Premium high-tensile grades for demanding mechanical work.
Grade 5 — High-tensile imperial flange bolts in UNC.
Sizes: M5 through M12 are the busiest; some imperial 1/4", 5/16" and 3/8".
Standards: DIN 6921 (metric serrated), IFI 111 (imperial), JIS B1189 Type 2.
Pair with matching flange nuts for vibration-resistant assemblies. Tightening torque should be checked against the Technical PDF's Library as the flange changes the effective clamp behaviour compared to a plain hex bolt.
