Forged washer head bolts are used in the pole line industry and provide increased bearing surface on the crossarm due to the integrated washer that is forged under the square head. They are commonly used with square nuts and are hot-dip galvanized to prevent corrosion. Standard thread lengths for pole line fasteners, which are longer than standard bolts, are applied to washer head bolts. A semi-cone point is added to the threaded end to facilitate easy installation.
