About this asset

This A325 Heavy Hex Bolt Assembly is a Revit family component featuring a standard industrial steel fastener with a washer and nut. The assembly consists of a high-strength A325 heavy hex bolt, a flat washer, and a matching hex nut. Designed for structural steel applications, the geometry reflects standard mechanical proportions with a thick, robust head profile typical of heavy-duty fastening requirements. The finish is a neutral, reflective metallic silver, representing standard structural steel. The component is modelled with clean, simplified geometry suitable for structural documentation and connection detailing, providing a clear visual representation of the fastener assembly without excessive polygon counts that could burden complex structural models.

The download is a 481 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

Users can load this RFA file directly into a Revit structural project or assembly file. It is designed to be placed within structural connection details or used as a nested component within custom connection families. The model allows for snapping to reference planes or faces, ensuring accurate placement in steel beam-to-column or brace connections. Proper use involves managing the family instance parameters to ensure correct scheduling within the project's structural components list.

This fastener is intended for use in structural steel engineering and industrial building design projects. It is essential for producing accurate connection details, shop drawings, and structural BIM models for commercial or industrial facilities. Engineers and drafters will find this asset useful for visualising complex steel joints, bolted connections, and moment-resisting frames. It integrates seamlessly into standard structural workflows, helping to verify clearance and assembly feasibility during the design development and construction documentation phases of a steel-framed structure.
