FAQS on m8 1.25 carriage bolt

Q: What is an M8 1.25 carriage bolt used for?

A: An M8 1.25 carriage bolt is a metric bolt with an 8mm diameter and 1.25mm thread pitch. It is commonly used in construction or automotive applications where a smooth, rounded head and square neck prevent rotation during tightening.

Q: How does a 3/8 x 9 carriage bolt differ from a standard carriage bolt?

A: A 3/8 x 9 carriage bolt has a 3/8-inch diameter and 9 threads per inch (imperial measurement). Unlike metric M8 bolts, this type is suited for projects requiring imperial measurements, such as older machinery or U.S.-based building codes.

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

A: A 3.5-inch carriage bolt can replace a 3-inch version if the extra 0.5 inches of length doesn’t interfere with the assembly. Ensure the threaded portion is sufficient for proper nut engagement and stability.

Q: What materials are 3 carriage bolts typically made from?

A: A 3 carriage bolt (3/8-inch diameter) is often made from steel, stainless steel, or zinc-plated materials. These options provide varying levels of strength and corrosion resistance for applications like outdoor furniture or structural framing.

Q: Is an M8 1.25 carriage bolt compatible with a 3/8-inch nut?

A: No, an M8 1.25 (metric) bolt and a 3/8-inch (imperial) nut have incompatible thread sizes. Mixing metric and imperial measurements can lead to cross-threading or mechanical failure. Always match bolt and nut standards.
