Step Bolts

Step Bolts
Step bolts¾are appropriately named because they are used as climbing steps on communication and utility poles and towers. They are also used to fasten wood to wood and wood to metal. As a member of the round head bolt family, they have a “large circular head with a low rounded top surface and flat bearing surface, and an integrally formed square neck under the head.” Similar to carriage bolts, step bolts may be the preferred choice for decking and soft wood because the lower profile head is less obtrusive, and the larger head diameter reduces the chance of pull-through. Since the head is designed not to turn, they are usually tightened by torqing a nut. Whenever the head is exposed, they can be used with an internally threaded (tapped) hole and tightened by turning the step bolt’s square neck.
