Hexagonal bolts and their nuts

[uscitizen]

I am the expert here

That is a slotted countersunk bolt

its a flat head stove bolt and nut which just happens to be a slotted countersink bolt

Yep a counter sunk bolt but not necessarially a stove bolt. And stove bolts use square nuts because of the rust making a hex head hard to remove later. Plus stove bolts are soft so they can be wrung off pretty easially.

The bolts in the picture are a type of lag bolt.

Nope a lag bolt has coarse threads like a wood screw. they can either have a square or hex head.
They are designed for no nut but to screw directly into wood.

Ladies I am a screwing expert it appears compared to most on here

you just gave me an idea for a thread....chocolate and screws

Depends on the size.

Plus most machine screws are NF

Look at the link I posted to become a better screwer.

And not without a washer!

Plus, I always use anti-seize when screwing

I 100% agree with that!!!

Plus, I like to use anti-sieze when screwing

Yeah and never crossthread. That is painful.

NF is only one thread pitch of many. And NF does not exist in metric.

Metric threads come in both NF and NC

Which are the two major nut and bolt categories.

 

[uscitizen]

Metric comes in MM pitch. I buy lots of them.

I also have metric taps and dies and do not recall seeing NF on any of them just numbers.

To be fair, the MM metrics mainly come from overseas; Europe and Asia. And are mainly used in automotive applications.

The NF and NC metrics are usually American made and are the large sizes.

 

[uscitizen]

I have yet to see metric NF or NC bolts or taps at the fastener store I frequent.
All I see are pitch numbers.
I am not saying they equate to some NF or NC metric size , just never bought any marked that way.

Now those metric NCT bolts are a bitch.

There is no such thing as "stove style nuts"

Well then you will like this.

There is a bolt called a "sex" bolt.

Where the long male part screws into the female hole.

A bunch of nuts arguing about bolts. Jeeze! There is only one bolt expert that I'm aware of.
