Why choose zinc-plated machine screws?
The zinc plating provides a durable barrier against moisture and chemicals, helping extend service life in indoor and mild outdoor environments. The indented hex washer head helps seat the fastener flush and distribute load effectively, while the unslotted design reduces the chance of slippage in certain high-torque installations.
Installation tips
Pair with compatible nuts or tapped holes. Use a matching hex driver to engage the indented head, and tighten to the recommended torque for your application to ensure a secure fit without over-tightening.
