Hex Head Tap Bolts
Tap bolts are hex-head bolts that are fully threaded from head to tip. This allows a nut to be positioned anywhere along the shank, allowing them to join materials of varying thicknesses. They are designed to be inserted into tapped holes and their complete thread coverage provides maximum grip strength and flexibility for a wide range of applications.
