At $3.85, this is exactly what it sounds like: the bolt that holds the wheels on a portable tank. When it strips, shears, or goes missing, you need the correct 1\/2\" size -- not a hardware store substitute that may be the wrong grade, wrong thread pitch, or wrong length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePortable compressor tanks live a hard life in a shop. They get rolled over concrete, dragged around bays, knocked into jack stands, and used as footstools by techs who should know better. The axle bolt takes real lateral load every time you roll the tank across an uneven floor. Having the correct OEM replacement on the shelf means the tank stays mobile when the hardware eventually fails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Cast Air part:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exact fit for 8-gallon portable compressor tank wheel axles -- no guessing, no modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrect 1\/2\" diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e The right size for the AB12 application; do not substitute with hardware store bolts of unknown grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Installs exactly as the factory original -- correct length, correct thread, correct head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInexpensive insurance:\u003c\/strong\u003e At $3.85, keeping a spare on the shelf costs almost nothing and prevents a grounded tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinnesota-made quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast Air manufactures in Minnesota with a focus on durability and correct specifications across their full product line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Bolt Does Your Tank Take?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCast Air uses two axle bolt sizes across the portable tank lineup.
