Shoulder Bolt Replacement Parts for Commercial Griddles
Shoulder bolts are vital hardware components in commercial kitchen equipment, particularly in grills, griddles, ranges, and ovens. They not only fasten parts securely but also support moving components such as hinges, brackets, handles, and control panels.
The role of shoulder bolts goes beyond simple fastening—they maintain proper alignment and smooth operation of mechanical parts, reducing strain on equipment and preventing premature wear. In griddles and other high-volume appliances, these bolts help secure adjustable or moving sections, ensuring consistent cooking performance without compromising safety. To complement their function, griddle bolt accessories such as washers, spacers, and locking nuts are also used for fine adjustments, reliable installation, and extended equipment life.
At PartsFe, you’ll find a wide range of shoulder bolts and accessories tailored for commercial kitchen equipment. Options include bolts with diameters from 1/4" to 1/2" and shoulder lengths from 1" to 4". All components are compatible with leading brands like Vulcan, Garland, Pitco, and Frymaster.
