Plant Investment for Special Fastener Subsea Marketplace
Hague Fasteners are thrilled to take delivery of their new 4 Axis Machining centre to add extra capacity to their ever increasing workload.
This is the 2nd phase of significant plant investment as Hague Fasteners continue to grow as they service new Export and UK markets.
A significant growth this year into the Subsea marketplace has seen particularly complex milled fasteners being regularly manufactured to Customers drawings and supplied through Scotland, Norway and throughout Benelux.
Managing Director, Jon Hague, explained “with the successful implementation of the 2013 Special Fastener Engineering Young Apprenticeship scheme the flexibility amongst our new young workforce is enabling us to make rapid Plant acquisitions to further improve the delivery times and variety of complex components we can offer our ever growing number of Global Customers.”
Hague Fasteners continue in the proud footsteps of their founder, they are still a Private Company owned now by the 2nd Generation of the Hague Family. The Company structure and strong financial position the Company enjoy, in their 5th Decade of Bolting Production, ensures needless bureaucracy does not inhibit the firms continued growth.
Hague Fasteners have always led from the front, opportunities are identified and the business plan tweaked accordingly to always ensure that Hague Fasteners are the rapid solution to bolting supply issues around the world.
Hague Fasteners Continued Partnership with Wolverhampton Wanderers 2013/2014
It’s been a rather dramatic fall from grace for local Football team Wolverhampton Wanderers, from mixing with the best teams in the World some short 2 seasons ago, Wolves now find themselves in the English third tier of Football “League One”.
Hague Fasteners have been proud supporters of their local football team, and despite the somewhat less glamorous appeal of League One football, Hague remain proud to be associated with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The overpaid “stars” that failed to deliver the football required to survive in the Premier League or to compete in The Championship last year have been shipped out and the new Management at Wolves have re-invigorated the Club by promoting the Youthful Stars of the future to first team action.
Once again it seems the famous Old Gold & Black shirts are filled with Players passionate about their trade and passionate about the Famous Club that they represent.
Hague Fasteners are proud to be sponsoring 2 of these players and look forward to a more exciting season than has been endured for the last few years.

Engineer Studs
A normal stud bolt is a round metal bar that is either fully screwed or just screwed at both ends. Engineered stud bolts are the same except for having flanges that are set at a certain distance from one end to create a positive collar against the surface which the stud bolt is tightened on to. Whether you want Engineer Studs that have a large diameter or a longer length we can manufacture them as this is our speciality. There is a very high standard and excellence that shines through with the high temperature material grades and super duplex steel materials we use in our fasteners.
Wheel Studs
Wheel Studs are primarily used on automobiles to hold the wheel to your vehicle; they are the threaded fastener that keeps them in place on any automobile. Wheel Studs are only semi-permanent when mounted onto the vehicle hub and generally nuts are fastened over the wheel studs to secure the wheel in place, this is usually applied through the brake drum or discs. The primary advantage of using Wheel Studs instead of wheel bolts is because they are much easier to remove when it comes to changing a tire. It allows you to lift both the wheel and tire onto the studs instead of trying to hold up both the wheel and tire whilst also trying to line up the holes to insert the bolts; the Wheel Studs create the ability to hold and locate during tire changes which is safer, easier and not time consuming.
Flexibility with the production of Special Fasteners
Did we mention that all of our products can be made to order; any fastener, any thread and any material anywhere, anytime from hexagon nuts right through to your own custom bolts & nuts.
Due to the high quality of our products we have been able to supply them to a wide range of industries from Construction to Transport, we have been supplying these industries with our products for many years. The special fasteners we manufacture to customers designs are all produced to a high standard, especially when we work with large companies within a number of industries. For instance the fasteners supplied to the Oil & Gas industry have to be made from the best materials so that they get the best use from them. All of our special fasteners are produced form the best material and we focus on using duplex stainless steels as it is strong and has outstanding resistance.
Hague Fasteners excel in the Manufacture of all Non Standard Socket Screws.
Small Quantity Manufacturing Without Idle Claims
Countless companies offer bold claims like “if its standard we stock it, if its non-standard we stock it too”.
Here at Hague Fasteners we offer a simple and substantiated claim. If its not available from stock we will manufacture Bespoke Bolting for you in whatever delivery time you need.
There is no way anyone can stock special hex bolts, nonstandard socket screws or custom hex nut that’s not even designed yet, but once you’re happy with your specification you can source it from Hague Fasteners, manufactured to order, often as fast as if it were in stock, if required.
Being in the Special Fasteners industry for over forty years we know almost everyone claims they can make any specials that are beyond the standard stocked range. The reality unfortunately is not always quite so simple.

That fine thread BSF to UNF Tapping Thread Adaptor that’s non-standard, sure it can be made for you by standard stockists but do you really want to order 50,000pcs and wait 20 weeks? Just last week Hague Fasteners produced and supplied 4 off 1/2″ / M18 Tappex type self cutting thread adaptors in stainless steel in just a few days.

What is an Engineer Stud ?
There are various key identifiers when it comes to specifying an Engineer Stud. Many international standards exist and Hague can manufacture to the dimensions required under all standards or indeed a bespoke special stud can easily be made to your unique requirements and drawings.

The Metal End is the Stud End that is screwed into the existing component base or body. This is generally 1 or 1.5 times the nominal diameter as specified by purchaser or international standard.
TheNut End is the Stud End which is not screwed into the existing component. A nut is tightened into this shorter threaded end to secure the fixing.
The Plain portion is the part of stud which is not screwed. This shall be greater than 50% of the nominal dia and normally includes thread runouts.
Nominal length- The British Standard BS4439 identifies a range of Nominal lengths from 12mm to 500 mm. The nominal length is the plain portion length & the Nut Threaded End added together.
d – Hague regularly manufacture Engineer Studs in the diameter range M6 (1/4″) through M100 (4″).
Threads Notes
According to the BS4439 standard the threads on the nut end and on the metal end shall be in accordance with BS 3643 parts 1-3. The nut end shall be to the tolerance 6g (medium fit.). This is as normal for a general bolt. The metal end shall be to the tolerance of a close fit (4h) or an oversize tolerance as specified.
The tapped hole shall be to the tolerance 4H or, if it is not critical application a medium 6H tolerance can apply.
