WARNING
HARDWARE THREAD GALLING
We provide Fasteners in Stainless Steel to ensure a long life span. Although Stainless Steel has many benefits like extreme corrosion resistance, threads can be sensitive to Nylon Lock Nuts. We recommend installing hardware with an Anti-Seize thread lubricant to prevent thread galling. Slowing down speed of install and keeping bolts stationary while tightening nuts are common practices to prevent thread galling.
