Stove Bolt

A stove bolt is a fastener with a rounded or flat head and a square neck that grips the hole. It is often sold with a matching nut and is used for general assembly.

A stove bolt has a round head and a short square neck that grips timber or sheet. It often fastens metal to wood or joins light assemblies. It takes a nut of the same thread and class, and a washer is often added under the nut.

Stove bolts are often made in carbon steel or stainless steel. Choose stainless steel for outdoor or damp work.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance and check the head, neck and thread on receipt. Confirm the nut turns freely and the square neck sits in the hole.
