Q: What does the size "1/2 x 6" mean for a carriage bolt?

A: The size "1/2 x 6" refers to a 1/2-inch diameter shank and a 6-inch length. It is commonly used in heavy-duty applications like wood framing. Always confirm thread pitch compatibility for your project.

Q: Where is a 3/8 x 9 carriage bolt typically used?

A: A 3/8 x 9 carriage bolt is ideal for securing larger structures, such as gates or playground equipment. Its length provides ample grip for thick materials. Galvanized options are recommended for outdoor use.

Q: What is a 3 carriage bolt?

A: A 3 carriage bolt denotes a 3/16-inch diameter shank, suitable for lightweight projects like furniture assembly. Ensure the square neck fits snugly into pre-drilled holes to prevent spinning during tightening.

Q: Can a 3.5-inch carriage bolt replace a 3-inch one?

A: A 3.5-inch carriage bolt can replace a 3-inch version if the extra length doesn’t interfere. Trim or use washers to adjust protrusion. Verify load requirements match your application.

Q: Are 3/8 x 9 and 1/2 x 6 carriage bolts interchangeable?

A: No, due to differences in diameter and length, they serve distinct purposes. Use 3/8 x 9 for moderate loads and 1/2 x 6 for heavier-duty needs. Always match bolt specs to structural demands.
