A fender washer, though similar in shape to a standard washer, differs in that the outside diameter is traditionally much larger in proportion to the center hole. With this design, a fender washer can be placed under the head of a bolt or nut to help distribute forces applied when tightening. Its oversized outside diameter also provides more bearing surface for the load of the fastener—distributing the load further on soft or thin materials. Fender washers are commonly used in automotive, sheet metal, plumbing and electrical applications.

Drywall screws fasten sheets of drywall (also called sheetrock or plasterboard) to the wall or ceiling support studs. Drywall screws with coarse threads are used to to attach to wood framing. Screws with fine threading are used for metal studs. Also, self-drilling versions are available for attaching to thicker metal support.
Most drywall screws have a tapered bugle head to penetrate the drywall without damaging the outer layer of paper. Trim head screws are used to attach trim pieces over the drywall, and have a very small head that disappears into the surface for easy finishing. K-lath screws have a large wafer head to easily attach wire mesh, or lath, to the frame studs to support plaster. Their low profile heads are easily covered over by the finished surface of tile, stone, brick, stucco, etc. -

Plow bolts feature a countersunk, flat head, square neck, and unified thread pitch. They are commonly used in road graders, scoop shovels, and other heavy-duty industrial equipment where a flat, smooth surface is required. Grade-5 plow bolts are made from a medium-grade, heat-treated carbon steel, and have a plain finish.

Machine screws are meant to hold two metal work pieces together, with the use of a threaded pre-tapped hole, or through a hole and held with a nut. They are threaded the entire length of the shank. For most styles of a machine screw, the length is measured from under the head to the end of the screw. For flat head machine screws, since they are intended to fit into a countersunk hole, their length is measured from the top of the screw head to the end of the screw.

The button head version of socket cap screws are commonly used for removable panels, machine parts, die fixturing, and clamping. The socket head enables driving where there is not sufficient space for wrenches or sockets. The button head offers a wider bearing surface and high tensile strength, but offers lower profile than standard socket cap screws.
Button Head socket cap screws are available as an alloy with black oxide finish, or as stainless steel. -

Read MoreQuick ViewPro-Tect System for Pool Enclosures
PRO-TECT Fastener Protection System consists of a nylon sleeve and a cap that, together, cover and protect the anchor screw. The PRO-TECT nylon sleeve gives protection from electrolysis, providing worry-free installation while extending the life of the product. This is very important for the harsh conditions of the coastal environments and extreme temperatures.
The PRO-TECT cap snaps onto the top of the nylon sleeve, covering the head of the Blue-Tap anchor screw. Due to its special design, the cap will not come off easily. Caps are available in White and Bronze.
By repelling water and preventing penetration, PRO-TECT reduces or eliminates the need for warranty work, increasing life expectancy of the structures. -

As the name implies, square nuts have a 4-sided, square design. This square profile provides a greater bearing surface when installing onto a bolt. Square nuts are designed for use with square headed bolts, and the large surface provides better resistance to loosening. When using square nuts, as with hex nuts, use flat washers of the correct size and material.

Read MoreQuick ViewT-Nuts
T-nuts are barrel shaped fasteners with internal threading, and are used to provide an anchor point for a bolt in a piece of wood, whether a flat board or a dimensional piece. They are especially useful when a flush surface is wanted. T-nuts have a flat base with prongs bent up at 90° angles, parallel to the barrel. After pre-drilling a hole, the t-nut can be fixed in place either by tightening a bolt into it from the top, which pulls the prongs into the wood, or using hammer to pound the locking prongs into the wood until flush.
