Bolt Length
In order to determine the required bolt length, the value in the table below should be added to the Grip (I.e., the total thickness of all connected
material, exclusive of washers) or enter the Grip in the Calculator above for single nut with washer. The values are generalized with due allowance
for manufacturing tolerances to provide for full thread engagement of heavy hex nut, when installed. For each hardened flat washer that is used
add 5/32-inch , and for each bevel washer add 5/16-inch . The length is determined by use of the table/calculator should be adjusted to the next 1/4-inch.

Bolted Parts (ASTM A325 & A490 BOLTS)

The slope of surfaces of bolted parts in contact with the bolt head and nut shall not exceed 1:20 with respect to plane normal to the bolt
axis. Bolted steel parts shall not be separated by gaskets and shall fit solidly together after bolts are tightened. Holes may be be punched,
sub-punched and reamed, or drilled, as required by applicable code or specification. Standard holes shall have a diameter 1/16" in excess of
the nominal bolt diameter.
A490 bolts and galvanized A325 bolts shall not be reused. Retightening previous tightening of adjacent bolts
shall not be considered as reuse.
Oversized Holes may have nominal diameters up to: 3/16" larger than bolts 7/8" and less in diameter, 1/4" for 1" in diameter
and 5/16" larger than bolts 1-1/8" and greater in diameter. Haredened washers shall be installed over oversized holes in an outer ply.
