Product catalog summary

Introduction
This document serves as a comprehensive guide for selecting fasteners, detailing various types, materials, and applications. It covers common fastener types, materials and finishes, head types, drive types, and measurement standards.

Common Fastener Types

Hex Bolts and Set Screws: Used in machinery and construction, with hex bolts being partially threaded and hex set screws fully threaded.
Wood Screws: Used in carpentry for strong clamping force.
Self-drilling, Self-tapping, and Thread-forming Screws: Form threads as they are inserted, suitable for various materials.
Machine Screws: Fully threaded, used with nuts or tapped holes.
Socket Screws: Feature an internal hex drive for limited clearance applications.
Coach/Carriage Bolts: Have a domed head with a square section to prevent spinning.
Nuts and Washers: Used with machine threaded fasteners to spread load and provide spacing.
Sems Screws: Screw/washer assemblies for production environments.
Coach Screws: Heavy-duty fasteners for metal and timber.
Roofing Bolts: Used for joining flat surfaces, supplied with nuts.
Screw Insulators and Standoffs: Used for isolation and spacing in assemblies.
Hose Clips and P-clips: Used for clamping hoses and securing cables.
Sign Clamps: Used for fixing signs to posts.

Fastener Materials & Finishes

Zinc Plated Steel: Moderate corrosion resistance for indoor use.
Stainless Steel: Good corrosion resistance, suitable for outdoor use, with A2 and A4 grades.
Brass: Offers better corrosion resistance and is used for decorative finishes.
Chrome and Nickel Plated Steel: Used for decorative purposes with moderate corrosion resistance.
Alloy Steel: High strength but low corrosion resistance.
Nylon: Lightweight, corrosion-free, and offers good insulation.
Titanium: Non-toxic, lightweight, and highly corrosion-resistant.

Head Types

Hex: Used for larger bolts and set screws.
Round, Pan, Countersunk, Socket, Button, Cheese, Mushroom: Various head shapes for different applications and aesthetics.

Drive Types

Slotted, Cross Recess, Pozisquare/Phillips, Hex Socket, Torx, Security: Different drive types for specific applications and security needs.

Grades and Strengths
Fastener grades indicate mechanical properties, with higher numbers indicating stronger materials. Nut and washer sizes correspond to the screw or bolt they fit.

Hose Clips, P-Clips & Sign Clamps
Hose clips are used in various industries for pneumatic and hydraulic applications. P-clips provide secure clamping of pipes and cables. Sign clamps are designed for fixing signs and offer tamper resistance.

Measuring Diameter and Length
Fastener diameter is measured across the threaded portion, while length is measured from the material surface to the end of the fastener.

COMMON FASTENER TYPES Hex bolts Hex bolts are partially threaded and are used in machinery and construction applications. Can be used with a nut or in a tapped hole and are tightened with a wrench. Hex set screws Hex set screws are similar to the Hex bolt but are fully threaded instead of partially threaded. They are also used in machinery and construction applications and can be used with a nut or in a tapped hole. Wood screws Wood screws are primarily used in carpentry applications. They provide a strong clamping force which strengthens the joint between two materials. Wood screws are suitable...

FASTENER MATERIALS & FINISHES Zinc plated steel Zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance suitable for indoor use in a dry environment. Stainless steel Stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor applications, but is more expensive than zinc plated or galvanised steel. The two most common grades of stainless steel are A2 (304) and A4 (316). Both grades will offer a good form of corrosion resistance and both are able to handle low (cryogenic) and high temperatures. A4 grade has a higher corrosion resistance than A2 grade and should be chosen in higher...

GRADES AND STRENGTHS The fastener grade indicates the mechanical properties of the material and is stamped onto the head of a bolt or screw. A higher number indicates a stronger, more hardened material. So grade 12.9 will be stronger than 10.9. A manufacturer’s stamp may also be marked. MEASURING LENGTH MEASURING DIAMETER HOSE CLIPS, P-CLIPS & SIGN CLAMPS NUT AND WASHER SIZES Nut and washer sizes indicate the size of screw or bolt they fit. In the case of metric machine threaded fasteners, the thread size will denote the size of screw or bolt required. THREAD PITCH Metric fasteners have a specific...
