Key dimensions

A325 heavy hex structural bolt dimensions, common sizes.

A325 bolts use ASME B18.2.6 heavy hex dimensions with a short thread length; the nut column is the matching A563 heavy hex nut. Values are taken from the full chart; the governing standard edition and your drawing control the order.

Common RFQ specifications

What buyers usually specify.

Typical size ranges, lengths, grades and finishes named in RFQs for this product type. This is a guide for writing the inquiry, not a stock list: each size, grade and finish is confirmed in the quotation.

Sizes commonly quoted1/2–1-1/2 in; metric A325M M12–M36
Typical lengths1-1/2–8 in
GradeASTM F3125 Grade A325 Type 1 (120 ksi minimum tensile)
FinishesPlain, hot-dip galvanized (nuts tapped oversize) or zinc flake
Usually ordered withA563 DH heavy hex nuts and F436 hardened washers, as assemblies

Reference MOQ: 500 pcs per specification (subject to quotation). Sizes outside these ranges and quantities below 500 may still be submitted for review.

Product buying notes

A325 structural bolts: order the assembly, not just the bolt

ASTM F3125 Grade A325 replaced the stand-alone ASTM A325 specification. A325 bolts are heavy hex structural bolts used in steel connections, normally ordered as assemblies with ASTM A563 DH heavy hex nuts and ASTM F436 hardened washers.

Verified reference or buying parameterMeaning for this inquiry
Governing standardASTM F3125 / F3125M, Grade A325 (inch) or A325M (metric)
Strength120 ksi minimum tensile strength (A325M: 830 MPa)
Head and threadASME B18.2.6 heavy hex head; shorter thread length than a general hex bolt
TypeType 1 medium-carbon or alloy steel; Type 3 weathering steel on request
Mating partsA563 DH heavy hex nut (or A194 2H) and F436 hardened washer

Selection and assembly checks

State the diameter, length and thread series, the connection type the engineer specified (snug-tight, pretensioned or slip-critical) and how the bolts will be installed. Order bolts, nuts and washers together so the assembly is matched; do not substitute a general grade 8.8 or Grade 5 hex bolt.

Material, finish and documents

A325 can be supplied plain, hot-dip galvanized with nuts tapped oversize, or zinc-flake coated. Galvanized assemblies are normally lubricated and supplied as sets. State the coating standard and the documents you need — mill test certificates (EN 10204 3.1) and inspection records are agreed in the quotation.

Is ASTM A325 still a valid standard?

ASTM A325 was withdrawn in 2016 and replaced by ASTM F3125, which covers Grade A325 together with A490 and other structural bolt grades. Most drawings still say "A325"; we quote to F3125 Grade A325.

What is the difference between A325 and A490 bolts?

A490 is stronger (150–173 ksi tensile compared with 120 ksi minimum for A325) and must not be hot-dip galvanized. A325 can be galvanized. Use the grade the structural engineer specified.

Can I order A325 bolts, nuts and washers as sets?

Yes. A325 bolts can be supplied with A563 DH nuts and F436 washers as complete assemblies, packed by size. The MOQ is 500 pcs per specification, and different lengths can be combined on one order.
