Where can I find a friggin' hanger bolt?

Question

I'm trying to find a 3/8"-16 x 2-1/2" hanger bolt with a plain center. My local Tractor Supply store has them, but I am trying to buy them in bulk, in boxes of 50 or 100 so I can get them cheaper. The thing is, I can't find this kind *anywhere* online without having packages less than 900. Is there another name for hanger bolts (and specifically hanger bolts, not dowel screws or rail bolts)? This is driving me nucking futs! Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

http://www.boltdepot.com/Hanger-Bolts.as...

This website allows you to buy them in quantities of 1, 50, or 500.

They are, however, only available in plain steel (not stainless), but you hadn't specified so I figure that won't be a problem!

Answer 2

Try a commercial electric supply company, not home depot or lowes, an electric supply company that supplies electrical contractors.....

Answer 3

Industrial Supply Co.  www.mscdirect.com, or call 1-800-844-1971, ask for Mike W.

If they can't help you call Construction Fasteners LLC, 1-800-748-9823     This will probaby give the best price!  Ask for Cathrine.

Answer 4

Try woodworker.com.  The catalog does not list your size, but they may have more than what is listed.  5/16-18 x2 1/2 are 3.89/10 when 100 or more ordered.
