Hex Head Bolt — GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014 (Series 001) are used primarily for structural and machine joints that must be tightened to a controlled preload. This page summarizes where they fit, the industries that rely on them, and the practical points to get right when you specify them — to GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014. Stocked across roughly M3 to M36, they cover general to heavy-duty work.
Typical Applications for Hex Head Bolt — GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014 (Series 001)
The most common settings where these are specified:
- Maintenance & repair (MRO): a stocked size for servicing existing plant where the original fastener spec must be matched.
- Fabrication & metalwork: bench and on-site assembly of steel frames, enclosures and weldments.
- Structural steel: bolting beams, base plates and bracing where a defined preload and property class are required.
- Automotive & transport: chassis, suspension and powertrain mounting points subject to vibration.
- Heavy machinery: securing gearboxes, frames and guarding on plant that sees shock loads.
How to Specify Hex Head Bolt — GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014 (Series 001) for Your Application
- Size: Match the nominal size to the mating thread or hole. This product spans M3–M36; check the full table below for the exact dimensions of each size.
- Strength class: Choose the property class (e.g. 8.8, 10.9, 12.9 or A2/A4 stainless) for the load and environment, and tighten to the matching torque so the joint relies on preload, not friction.
- Environment: For damp, coastal or chemical exposure prefer A4/316 stainless or a suitable coating; indoors, plated steel or A2 is usually sufficient.
- Standard: This product is supplied to GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014. Quoting the standard on your order guarantees interchangeable dimensions between suppliers.
Where Hex Head Bolt — GB/T 5782 / ISO 4014 (Series 001) Are Not the Right Choice
Not for permanent joints that will never be opened (a rivet or weld is cheaper), and not where the head must sit flush — use a countersunk screw instead.
