MS Bolts measured in "Lines" (or Suts) are the foundational mechanical fasteners for the traditional fabrication and construction industries in Nepal. Manufactured from low-carbon mild steel, these bolts are valued for their ductility, which allows them to absorb shocks without brittle failure. The structural logic of the "Line" system follows 1/8th-inch increments (1 Sut = 1/8"), making this range (1 Line to 6 Line) cover diameters from 1/8" to 3/4". These bolts feature a cold-forged hexagonal head and are typically paired with BSW (British Standard Whitworth) or UNC threads. They are the primary unit for securing wooden door frames, assembling iron window grills, and mounting agricultural equipment where the precision of high-tensile metric bolts is not required.
