What Are Grade 2 Bolts?

Grade 2 bolts are made from low or medium-carbon steel and are designed for applications where extreme strength is not required. With a minimum tensile strength of approximately 74,000 PSI, they are strong enough for most non-critical uses but do not carry the same load-bearing capabilities as higher-grade bolts. Grade 2 bolts are typically unmarked on the head, making them easy to distinguish from higher-grade bolts.

Key Features of Grade 2 Bolts

• Material: Low to medium carbon steel.
• Tensile Strength: Minimum of 74,000 PSI, suitable for light to medium-duty applications.
• Finish Options: Available in a variety of finishes, including zinc-plated, galvanized, or plain steel, offering protection against corrosion in different environments.
• No Head Markings: Typically, Grade 2 bolts do not have head markings, differentiating them from Grade 5 and Grade 8 bolts, which are used for higher-strength applications.

Applications of Grade 2 Bolts

At TS Fasteners, we understand that Grade 2 bolts are essential for a wide range of non-critical applications across various industries. Here are just a few examples of where our Grade 2 bolts shine:

1. Residential Construction: Grade 2 bolts are commonly used for framing, securing wood beams, joists, and studs in projects like decks, fences, and sheds. They are also ideal for mounting light-duty hardware such as door hinges and window latches.
2. Automotive Repairs (Non-Critical Components): While Grade 2 bolts are not suitable for high-stress automotive parts, they are frequently used in non-critical areas like trim attachment, light brackets, and securing fenders or minor accessories.
3. Light Machinery Assembly: For assembling or repairing light machinery such as lawn mowers, small agricultural tools, and garden equipment, Grade 2 bolts offer the necessary strength without the need for the higher-grade counterparts.
4. Plumbing and HVAC Systems: In plumbing and HVAC applications, Grade 2 bolts can be used to secure brackets, ducts, and mounting hardware where moderate strength is sufficient.
5. Furniture Assembly: Grade 2 bolts are ideal for fastening components in home and office furniture, including table legs, chairs, and shelving units, making them perfect for DIY furniture projects.
6. Agricultural and Farm Equipment: On farms, Grade 2 bolts are commonly used for attaching non-structural components such as toolboxes, guards, or lightweight accessories on tractors and other equipment.
7. Signage and Display Installation: For commercial signage, display boards, or banners, Grade 2 bolts provide sufficient strength to mount frames and attach signs securely without the need for heavy-duty fasteners.
8. Light Industrial Applications: In light industrial settings, Grade 2 bolts are often used for securing lightweight components, such as panels, guards, or carts, where high torque or stress is not a concern.
9. Temporary Fastening Solutions: For temporary structures, such as scaffolding or work platforms, or for holding clamps or supports in place during construction, Grade 2 bolts are an excellent, cost-effective option.
