Advantages of Zinc Plated Steel Flange Bolts
At AlbanyCountyFasteners.com, our zinc plated steel flange bolts offer a budget-friendly solution for secure fastening. These bolts feature a zinc coating applied through electroplating, providing moderate corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor applications. Imperial sizes (e.g., 3/8"-16, 5/16"-18) include a serrated flange to prevent loosening, while metric sizes (e.g., M8-1.25, M10-1.50) have a non-serrated flange for even load distribution. Available in grades like 5 and 8.8, they deliver reliable strength for various projects.
- Cost-Effective: Affordable option with solid performance for indoor use.
- Serrated Flange (Imperial): Locks securely, reducing vibration-related loosening.
- Versatile Sizing: Metric and imperial options for automotive and machinery.
- Easy Installation: Hex head compatible with standard wrenches (e.g., 9/16", 13mm).
Uses for Zinc Plated Flange Bolts
Zinc plated steel flange bolts are ideal for projects where cost and moderate corrosion protection are priorities. Their serrated flange (in imperial sizes) ensures a firm grip, making them suitable for:
- Automotive repairs and assemblies
- Indoor machinery and equipment
- Light outdoor structures like sheds or fences

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Zinc plated steel flange bolts are steel fasteners with a zinc coating for moderate corrosion resistance. They feature a hexagonal head and a flange (serrated for imperial, non-serrated for metric) that acts as a washer to distribute load and enhance stability.
Are zinc plated steel flange bolts suitable for outdoor use?These bolts offer moderate corrosion resistance and are best for indoor or light outdoor projects. For harsher outdoor or marine environments, consider stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized bolts for better durability.
How do I choose the right size zinc plated flange bolt?Select based on material thickness and load needs. Common sizes include 3/8"-16, 5/16"-18 (imperial) and M8-1.25, M10-1.50 (metric). Review our sizing charts or contact our team for guidance.
