Maximise torque and work in tight spaces with our 12-Point Bolts. Their unique head design allows higher torque than standard hex sockets and greater wrench flexibility, making installation easier and more efficient in clean-critical and precision applications.
We offer a variety of 12-Point Bolts (also known as 12-Point Flange Bolts and 12-Point Flange Screws). 12-Point Bolts are an alternative head design for hex socket cap screws. The flange diameter and head height are designed to fit a range of applications and counterbored holes designed for standard hex socket cap screws.
The 12-Point design permits this style bolt to be tightened down with a 12-Point socket wrench, which permits higher torque to be applied as compared to a standard internal hex drive socket head cap screw. Another advantage of the 12-Point head type is their use in tight spaces. The 12-Points have 30° between flats (as opposed to Hex heads which have 60°). This enables increased wrench flexibility (or placement) when manipulating the fastener.
Sizes & Styles
While our standard 12-Point Bolts are available in inch sizes, metric sizes are also available in a variety of diameters and lengths. Please request a quote for metric 12-Point Bolts, available in any of our standard finishes, vented or non-vented, should your application require it.
Nut Plates
Nut plates (commonly called a Banana Lug) provide easy installation of a Conflat or metal sealed flange in a restricted or tight area. By reducing the need for a wrench to install a standard nut, they can be used in places such as 90° bends in UHV piping. They also provide a greater surface area for the flange mating.
Materials & Finishes
All parts are precision cleaned and packaged in their certified Class 100/ISO Class 5 Cleanroom prior to shipment; which means that the RediVac® products are ready for immediate vacuum service. We offer a variety of packaging options and vacuum-stable specialty finishes (including WS2 and MoS2 coatings, Gold, Silver, and Nickel) to help reduce contamination, boost system performance, reduce corrosion, and prevent galling.
