a Where specifying size in decimals, zeros preceding decimal and in fourth decimal place omitted.
b Flat on minimum diameter head calculated on minimum sharp and absolute minimum head diam-

eters and 82 head angle.

c Maximum head height calculated on maximum sharp head diameter, basic bolt diameter, and 78
head angle.
d Minimum head height calculated on minimum sharp head diameter, basic bolt diameter, and 82
head angle.
All dimensions are given in inches. For thread information and method of bolt designation see footnotes to previous table. Heads are unslotted unless otherwise specified. For slot dimensions see
Table 1 in Slotted Head Cap Screws on page 1586.

Wrench Clearance Dimensions.Wrench openings for nuts are given in Table 1, clearances for open end engineers wrenches in Table 2, clearances for single and double hexagon socket wrenches in Tables 3a (inch) and 3b (metric), clearances for 12-point box
wrenches (inch and metric) are given in Table 4. They are based on the dimensions across
the flats of the fastener.
