Flat End Threaded Sockets

Threaded socket forms with a flattened end and transverse hole. Define the hole position, flat-section dimensions and internal thread for your project.

Cylindrical internally threaded end transitions into a flat tail.
Transverse hole passes through the flattened section.
Flat-tail geometry and socket thread are separate inspection features.

Defined by the details.

Flat end threaded sockets combine a cylindrical internally threaded opening with a flattened section at the opposite end. A transverse hole passes through that flat section. This shape distinguishes the product from a straight cross-hole socket, a cross-pin insert and a socket attached to a separate base plate.

A flattened tail with a defined hole

Specify the flat section width, thickness and length, together with the hole diameter and its position relative to the end. The transition from the cylindrical socket into the flat section should also be defined where it affects fit or acceptance.

The cylindrical end requires its own thread designation, usable engagement length and body dimensions. Product markings visible in some images do not replace material documentation or establish the complete purchase specification. The agreed drawing should identify the required finished geometry and material.

Specify the intended application

Define the intended fixing arrangement alongside the component geometry. The flattened section, hole and threaded end need to be considered within the complete connection drawing. State whether the inquiry concerns a fixing component or a lifting-related project, and include the corresponding acceptance requirements.

Provide any specified bar or mating element and the relevant project documents. A lifting-related inquiry requires the complete approved arrangement and validation scope; this description does not assign a lifting capacity or approve a reinforcement detail.

Buyer questions

Is every flat end socket a lifting socket?

No. Similar-looking forms may be described for fixing or lifting. The specified product, approved arrangement and supporting validation determine the intended use.

Is a reinforcing bar included?

No bar is included by implication. Specify any bar or mating component, its dimensions and the required assembly scope in the inquiry.

Do the visible material markings prove the grade?

Markings can help identify an example, but material acceptance should follow the agreed specification and documentation. They do not establish the material of every item in the range.
