Structural Bolts
Our structural bolts provide critical fastening solutions for bridge, building, and highway construction projects. Available in A325 and A490 grades, these heavy hex bolts offer superior corrosion resistance and tensile strength. Custom finishing options include hot-dip galvanization and mechanical coatings to withstand harsh environments.
Bent Bolts
Precision-engineered bent bolts ensure structural integrity in metal building and waterworks applications. We manufacture anchor bolts, U-bolts, and J-bolts from materials like stainless steel and F1554-105. Our ISO-certified facilities guarantee dimensional accuracy and consistent performance under extreme stress.
Headed Bolts
Headed bolts deliver reliable connections in structural steel and aerospace applications. Our inventory includes hex head, tension control, and lag bolts in standard and custom dimensions. Advanced coating technologies ensure longevity in corrosive environments while maintaining precise torque specifications.
T-Head Bolts
T-head bolts with mechanical joint gaskets create watertight seals in pipeline systems. Our proprietary Cor-Blue coating provides 1,000-hour salt spray protection while enabling easy assembly. Anti-rotation designs and custom thread lengths meet specialized waterworks requirements.
Custom Manufacturing
Custom manufacturing capabilities produce non-standard fasteners for unique applications. Our engineering team develops specialized solutions for aerospace, oil and gas, and industrial clients. Rapid prototyping and in-house testing ensure compliance with ASTM and AWWA standards.
