Drift Bolts 
Typical Material: Low Carbon Steel 
Diameters: from 1/2” to 1” Any Lengths
Grade: ASTM A307 Gr.A
Finish: Plain Finish or Hot Dipped Galvanized
Introduction:
Drift bolts, and drift pins are mostly used for lateral connections in glue-laminated or heavy timber construction. They transmit forces through single shear(two members) or double shear(three members) connections. They develop moderately high lateral strength through an interaction of wood bearing and bolt bending. Beam-to beam, beam-to-column, beam-to-wall, and column-to-foundation are typical bolted connections in building construction. Beam-to-cap or still beam, and pile cap-to-pile are typical drift bolt or pin connections in bridge or cribbing construction.
