HOT DIP GALVANIZED FASTENERS

Perhaps the most critical choice made in the design of fabrication connections is how to protect the fasteners from corrosion. The protection of fasteners is imperative, because if the fasteners corrode and fail, the integrity of the structure is at risk. Hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) delivers long-term, maintenance-free corrosion protection of fasteners, thus eliminating the concern. Whether used in atmospheric, concrete, soil, or water (fresh or salt) applications, hot-dip galvanized steel provides maximum time to first maintenance. Additionally, because of galvanizing’s maintenance-free quality, there will be no difficult field repairs nor labor and material costs associated with those repairs.
