Fractional Size 18-8 Stainless Steel Carriage Bolt
Fractional Size 18-8 Stainless Steel Carriage Bolt
Fractional Size 18-8 Stainless Steel Carriage Bolts are premium corrosion-resistant fasteners designed for wood-to-wood and wood-to-metal connections in demanding environments. Built from high-quality 18-8 stainless steel, these carriage bolts provide exceptional resistance to rust, staining, and oxidation, making them ideal for outdoor construction, marine installations, food processing facilities, and architectural applications where durability and appearance matter.
18-8 Stainless Steel for Superior Corrosion Resistance
The 18-8 stainless steel alloy contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel, delivering excellent protection against moisture, humidity, and mild chemical exposure. Unlike plated fasteners, stainless steel offers inherent corrosion resistance throughout the entire bolt, eliminating concerns about coating wear or flaking. This makes 18-8 stainless carriage bolts a reliable choice for decks, docks, fencing, pergolas, playground equipment, and coastal structures.
In addition to corrosion resistance, 18-8 stainless steel offers strong tensile performance and long-term durability. It is typically non-magnetic in its annealed state and maintains structural integrity in wet or high-humidity environments.
Domed Head and Square Neck Design
The smooth, round domed head provides a clean, finished appearance without exposed wrench flats, making these bolts ideal for visible applications. Beneath the head, the square neck is engineered to embed securely into wood or soft materials during tightening. This anti-rotation feature prevents spinning and allows installation by tightening the nut from one side with a wrench or socket.
