A&M Nut & Bolt is a nut and bolt
distributor that never short changes its clientele. We offer a range of
products when it comes to nuts and bolts in Phoenix that can meet a
variety of industrial and personal needs. Here are some of our offerings
in detail and according to the material they are best for:
For Wood:
Lag bolts – Also known as lag screws, these are some of the most common
fasteners that we offer. These are typically used to connect heavy
pieces of lumber and other heavy wooden materials that are being used to
support heavy loads. These are different from the wood, sheet metal and
self-drilling variety but they are larger in size than most. A single
lag bolt can be 3/4 inch diameter and up to 24 inches in length.
Carriage Bolts:
These bolts feature a square shoulder and have a round head which is
designed to offer resistance or friction when the nut is tightened or
when it is being removed. These are best used for wooden connections
where the head might be hidden and inaccessible for tightening. Carriage
bolts are usually used to construct docks and large decks along with
other surfaces that require a smooth finish and robust fastenings.
Elevator Bolts:
These are typically used to fasten elevator belts and to secure them.
The head and the square neck of the elevator bolt has a large diameter
and provides a larger surface that prevents it from gouging and damaging
the material of the belt.
Specialty Bolts
Plow Bolts:
Not to be confused with carriage bolts, plow bolts usually have a flat
or a sunken head which allows a smoother finished surface when they are
drilled in. They do have a locking base right under the head but unlike
the carriage variety these are square in shape. This prevents the bolts
from turning again once they are screwed in tightly. These are usually
used on plow blades hence the name and also on heavy duty construction
equipment.
Square Head Bolts:
Square head bolts were popular before hex bolts came into the picture
but they are still specified on some projects. These are usually meant
to enhance aesthetics such as providing a rustic look to a structure and
square lag screws are also used for the same purpose. The head provides
an easy grip for wrenches and to fasten nuts tightly which is critical
in railway applications.
Flange Bolts:
These bolts feature a flange under the head which is also circular in
shape. The head is designed to act as a washer i.e. it distributes load
across a great area. Flange bolts that are not serrated are also known
as frame bolts. You can identify one by the ridge below the head. These
are typically used by line workers who work in automotive and can
provide the same bearing power as a washer.
