A choice of sizes accommodates belts from 3/16” (5 mm) to over 15/16” (24 mm) thick. Exclusive Piloted Bolts: Tapered tips that cradle nuts securely in place. Reduce installation time. Easy to use. High strength. Selection Guide Fastener Size Belt Thickness Range For Belts with Mechanical Fastener Ratings Up To: Minimum Pulley Diameter * When used with No. 3 Lead Wedlok pattern, belts over 7/8” (22 mm) require extra long No. 2-1/4 bolts ® www.flexco.com www.flexco.com High strength is the result of superior design and plate compression on both the top and bottom sides of the belt. High tensile strength bolts compress top and bottom plates to distribute splice tension evenly across the entire width of each fastener plate. For added strength and pullout resistance, specially formed teeth penetrate deep into the belt carcass – without damaging carcass fibers. Easy installation. Field-proven templets, punches, and boring tools make it easy to quickly and accurately prepare belts for fastener installation. Fasteners are easily installed on-site using portable hand tools or power tools. Our exclusive piloted bolts also contribute to faster installation.
