FAQ

How is a machine screw measured?
Size is the gauge or diameter and the threads per inch, such as 10-24. Length is measured from under the head for pan, truss and hex washer heads, and from the top of the head for flat and oval heads.

How do I stop stainless threads from galling?
Stainless threads can seize (gall) when tightened fast or under heavy load. Put anti-seize on the threads, tighten slowly at low speed, keep the threads clean and don't overtighten.

Can I use stainless with zinc plated or galvanized parts?
Use stainless nuts and washers with stainless bolts and screws. In wet conditions, stainless touching zinc plated, galvanized or aluminum parts can cause galvanic corrosion of the zinc or aluminum.
