Stainless Steel 3/8"-16 x 3-1/2" Hex Head Bolt — Corrosion-Resistant Upgrade Hardware
This 18-8 stainless steel hex head bolt is commonly used as an upgrade replacement for standard zinc-plated trailer hardware where corrosion resistance and long-term serviceability are priorities. It is ideal for applications where components may need to be removed and reinstalled over time.
Stainless hardware is often selected in saltwater or high-exposure environments where traditional coated hardware can seize or degrade.
| Component Type: | Hex Head Bolt |
| Diameter / Thread: | 3/8"-16 UNC (Coarse Thread) |
| Length: | 3-1/2" |
| Material: | 18-8 Stainless Steel (304) |
| Finish: | Natural Stainless (Corrosion Resistant) |
| Wrench Size: | 9/16" |
| Common Use: | Bunk brackets, light brackets, accessory mounts, and serviceable trailer components |
| Function: | Provides corrosion-resistant fastening for components that require periodic removal and adjustment |
| Recommended Hardware: | Use with stainless or compatible locknuts and apply anti-seize compound during installation |
| Included: | Bolt only (nuts and washers sold separately) |
| Important Note: | Stainless hardware offers superior corrosion resistance but typically lower tensile strength than Grade 5 steel. Always verify application suitability before substituting for structural hardware. |
Why Choose Stainless Hardware
- Excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater environments
- Easier removal after long-term exposure
- Reduced risk of seized or frozen fasteners
Best suited for serviceable components—not primary structural connections.
Installation Considerations
- Always use anti-seize compound
- Avoid high-speed impact installation without lubrication
- Use compatible locknuts to prevent galling
Improper installation can cause thread galling or seizure.
Real-World Insight
At EZLoaderParts411.com, stainless hardware is commonly used where long-term exposure makes standard coated hardware difficult to service. It is a strong upgrade for corrosion resistance—but should be used appropriately based on load requirements.
