    Our most popular hex head screws. These have a head with six flat sides to keep wrenches and sockets from slipping and rounding off the drive.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    Medium-Strength Fastener—Your go-to screws for fastening most machinery and equipment. They have tensile strengths from 90,000 to 120,000 psi.
    High-Strength Fastener—Commonly used to fasten components in valves, pumps, motors, and other high-stress applications. These screws have a tensile strength of 125,000 to 160,000 psi.
    Low-Strength Fastener—Suitable for light duty applications, such as securing access panels. These screws have a tensile strength of 60,000 psi and lower.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With slightly better corrosion resistance than zinc-plated steel screws, these stand up to more frequent exposure to moisture.
    Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel—The strength of steel with the rust resistance of stainless steel. These screws are an economical alternative to 18-8 stainless steel in wet and outdoor environments, but they won't hold up to salt water and chemicals. The galvanized finish is thicker than other types of coatings, so the threads may be more likely to stick during installation. You can only mate these screws with hot-dipped galvanized nuts.
    Zinc-Flake-Coated Steel—The coating is tested to extreme standards, including at least 720 hours of salt spray resistance, to hold up in wet and outdoor environments. An embedded lubricant makes these screws easier to install than corrosion-resistant-coated screws.

    High-Pressure Stainless Steel Heavy Hex Head Screws

    Resist corrosion and meet ASTM standards for use in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Also known as pressure bolts, these screws are often used to secure pressure tanks, valves, and flanges. They're also good for cold temperatures. With a head that's about 10% wider than standard hex head screws, they handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. The head also has six flat sides to keep wrenches and sockets from slipping and rounding off the drive.
    Length is measured from under the head.
    ASTM Grade B8 18-8 Stainless Steel—A good choice for wet and outdoor environments, such as power plants and water treatment facilities. These screws withstand moisture and mild chemicals but won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Grip Length—Screws with a grip length have a precisely measured unthreaded section under the head, called a grip. It's stronger than the threaded section, so you can place it in joints exposed to sideways forces.
