- Twelve Point Flange Screws are an alternative head design for hex socket cap screws. The flange diameter and head height are designed to fit applications and counterbored holes designed for standard hex socket cap screws.
- Twelve point flange screws are manufactured with the same thread length as socket head cap screws (2 times the diameter +1/2” minimum guaranteed threads).
- The twelve point head design is tightened with standard twelve point socket wrenches.
- The 12 point design permits greater torque to be applied to the bolt and eliminates the rounding of the hex socket that occurs with standard hex sockets.
- The flange diameter and head thickness of the 12 Point Flange Bolt are equivalent to the head dimensions of a socket head cap screw. This permits the Twelve Point Flange Bolt to be a replacement for any application currently using a socket head cap screw. The twelve point design permits this style bolt to be tightened down with a twelve point socket wrench, which permits higher torque to be applied as compared to a standard internal hex drive socket head cap screw.
- The higher strength and larger bearing area under the head of this design provides additional benefits for assemblies over standard hex head cap screws
- More aesthetically pleasing than standard cap hex or socket head cap screws.
