FAQs

What does A2 304 stainless steel mean?

A2 304 is a grade of stainless steel that offers good corrosion resistance, particularly against atmospheric conditions and many chemicals. It is commonly used in food industry equipment, general hardware, and outdoor applications.

Are these bolts magnetic?

A2 304 stainless steel is generally considered non-magnetic, though it may exhibit slight magnetism after cold working.

What is the difference between button head and other bolt heads?

The button head is a low-profile, rounded head that provides a clean aesthetic and a large bearing surface, while the hex socket allows for easy tightening with an allen wrench.

Can I use these bolts outdoors?

Yes, the A2 304 stainless steel construction makes them highly resistant to rust and corrosion, suitable for outdoor use.

What allen wrench size do I need for M8 bolts?

For M8 hex socket button head bolts, you will typically need a 5mm allen wrench.

Are these bolts fully threaded or partially threaded?

These specific M8X20mm bolts are fully threaded, meaning the threads run the entire length of the bolt shaft.

Where can I find other sizes?

Other sizes are available under the SS8 brand, often listed with their specific MPN or size designation in the product title.

Troubleshooting

Bolt head won't accept allen wrench.

Ensure you are using the correct size allen wrench for an M8 bolt. Clean any debris from inside the hex socket.

Bolt is difficult to thread.

Check that the bolt is aligned correctly with the threaded hole and that you are not cross-threading. Ensure the hole is clear of debris.

Bolt is not holding securely.

Verify that the bolt is fully threaded into the material and that the receiving thread is in good condition. Ensure you are using the correct bolt length for the application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High corrosion resistance due to A2 304 stainless steel.
  • Durable and reliable construction meeting ISO 7380 standards.
  • Easy installation and removal with hex socket design.
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications from heavy machinery to DIY.
  • Fully threaded for maximum fastening strength.

Cons

  • Specific sizes and quantities need to be ordered. (This is not a limitation of the product itself, but a common purchasing consideration for specialized fasteners.)
  • Requires an appropriate allen wrench for installation/removal.
  • May be overkill for very light-duty applications where less robust fasteners suffice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install these bolts, ensure you have the correct size allen wrench (hex key) that fits the socket. Insert the bolt into the pre-drilled hole and tighten until snug. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the threads or damage the material being fastened.

Compatibility: These bolts are designed to fit standard metric-threaded holes. They are compatible with a wide range of materials including metal, wood, and plastic, provided the appropriate pilot hole is used. Check the specific thread size (M8 in this case) against your application's requirements.

Care: Due to their A2 304 stainless steel construction, these bolts are highly resistant to corrosion and require minimal care. For continued optimal appearance and performance, periodically inspect them for any signs of damage or debris. If cleaning is necessary, use a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
