M19 Bolt Size and Thread Specifications

Quick answer

M19 bolts use 19mm major diameter with 2.5mm coarse pitch in typical references.

They are uncommon but appear between M18 and M20 in some designs.

Use the tables below and thread identifier readings when worn threads confuse sizing.

M19 is rare in general hardware; sourcing taps, dies, and mates may require industrial suppliers. Follow OEM documentation. Spanish reference: perno M19. For tap drill size, thread types, and thread identifier workflows, pair this page with tools as you verify threads.

M19 vs M20 bolt size

Shank diameter and pitch set tap drill, hex key, and strength for each ISO size. Compare values in the tables above with the M20 bolt size page when you resize hardware.

Use the bolt size chart when you compare hex and shank columns across sizes.

Metric vs UNC thread size

Metric threads list diameter in millimeters and pitch in millimeters per thread; UNC lists nominal inch diameter and threads per inch. They are not interchangeable—taps, dies, and gauges differ.

Read metric vs unc thread context when series labels are unclear.

Use screw size conversion when you must match stocked parts.

How to choose the right bolt size

Choosing the correct bolt size depends on load, material, and thread type. Larger diameters increase strength, while thread pitch affects holding force.

Use the bolt size chart to compare shank and hex dimensions before you standardize hardware.

Use tap drill size guidance when you plan tapped holes.

Use the thread identifier when stamped sizes are missing.
