Tension Control Bolts w/ Heavy Nut and Washer (inch)

Click image to enlarge

Tension control bolts, commonly known as TC bolts, are a complete fastener unit consisting of a heavy hex bolt, heavy hex nut, and washer. This unique tension control bolt assembly is a game-changer for structural steel construction. The domed head and specialized tip at the end of the threaded shaft simplify installation. During bolting, the spline will shear off after the appropriate preload and tension level has been reached. This key feature safeguards the consistency and integrity of every bolt installed, ensuring a reliable connection on any job site.

All three components are structural grade; the bolts are offered in high-strength A325 and A490 grades, and their corresponding hex nuts are A563 grade and washers are F436 grade.
