Truss Head Bolt Phillips Crown Screws Stainless Steel 18-8 Cross Drive

The truss head bolt refers to a screw head that is extra wide and has a slightly rounded surface, or top. In other words, the head or top on the screw protrudes just above the surface to be fastened but contains a wider surface area just under the head. These screws can be used for applications like securing thin membranes, such as one-ply, through insulation. Wooden truss head screws are also commonly used to attach cabinets to steel studs; or to attach sliding shelf supports, since the low-profile head of the truss head screw does not interfere with guide operation. Ever Hardware provides the custom-made truss head bolt and customizable packaging.

Truss head bolts are well suited for sheet metal and other material with large diameter holes due to their wide head. Additionally, because of their low-dome shaped head, these screws make tampering with or removing the head difficult.

304 stainless steel is the most common form of stainless steel used around the world, largely due to its excellent corrosion resistance and value. It contains between 16 and 24 percent chromium and up to 35 percent nickel—as well as small amounts of carbon and manganese.
The most common form of 304 stainless steel is 18-8, or 18/8, stainless steel, which contains 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel.
304 can withstand corrosion from most oxidizing acids. That durability makes 304 easy to sanitize, and therefore ideal for kitchen and food applications. It is also common in buildings, décor, and site furnishings.
304 stainless steel does have one weakness—it is susceptible to corrosion from chloride solutions, or from saline environments like the coast. Chloride ions can create localized areas of corrosion, called “pitting,” which can spread beneath protective chromium barriers to compromise internal structures. Solutions with as little as 25 ppm of sodium chloride can begin to have a corrosive effect.
