  • Eliminates rollers: Use the wrenching surface to tighten if damaged threads cause rolling
  • Easy disassembly: Just hold the built-in wrenching surface and loosen nut
  • More efficient testing: Wrenching surface simplifies removal from test equipment—no more cutting out rollers!

HOW WE DO IT

The genius of the patented Lohr SMARTHEX™ lies in its dual nature.
The top half resembles an old-fashioned hex-head bolt, giving SMARTHEX™ all the advantages that iron workers appreciate from a standard hex: a wrenchable surface, easy removal from connections and test equipment, and extra insurance against unexpected installation problems.

The bottom half presents a washer-sized bearing surface equal to that of a hardened flat washer. This large bearing surface eliminates the need for a second washer on short slotted and oversized holes.
