Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between an M12 bolt and a 13 mm hex bolt?

A: The "M12" designation refers to the metric thread diameter (12mm). "13 mm" typically refers to the size across the flats of the hex head (the wrench size). Therefore, an M12 bolt commonly has a 13 mm hex head. It's crucial to specify both thread size and head/wrench size when ordering.

Q2: Which strength grade should I choose for my application?

A: Grade 8.8 is a general-purpose, high-strength bolt suitable for most industrial applications. Grade 10.9 offers higher tensile and yield strength for more critical, high-stress connections like structural steel or heavy machinery. ASTM A325 is a specific standard for structural bolts. Our technical team can advise based on your load requirements and safety factors.

Q3: What finish is best for outdoor use?

A: For long-term exposure to weather, hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) provides the thickest and most durable barrier against corrosion. For less severe environments, zinc plating with a supplementary chromate conversion coating (e.g., yellow zinc) offers excellent protection at a competitive price point.

Q4: Can you provide custom lengths or special markings?

A: Yes. We specialize in providing customized fastener solutions. We can manufacture 13 mm hex bolts in non-standard lengths, with specific head markings for traceability, or with unique thread lengths. Contact our sales team with your detailed requirements for a quotation.

Q5: What are your packaging and minimum order quantities (MOQ)?

A: We offer flexible packaging options, including bulk cartons, vacuum-sealed bags, or palletized loads. Our MOQ is competitive and designed to accommodate both large-scale project needs and smaller trial orders. Please inquire for specific details based on your chosen specification.
