4.Prototyping and R&D

Engineers who need to build and rebuild frames quickly. No permanent modifications.

Not recommended for – outdoor use in wet environments (use stainless steel instead), heavy structural loads (use grade 8.8 or 10.9 bolts), or food processing (zinc is not food-safe).

Customer Questions 

Q: Is yellow zinc better than blue/white zinc?

A: Not "better" – different. Yellow zinc generally offers slightly better corrosion resistance (72+ hours salt spray vs 48 hours for blue). Some people also just like the color for easy identification.

Q: Can I use this outside?

A: For temporary outdoor use, maybe. For permanent outdoor use, no. Go with stainless steel 304 or 316. Yellow zinc will start showing rust within a year outside.

Q: What's the difference between a T bolt and a hammer head bolt?

A: Same thing. Different names for the same product. Some regions call T Bolt For T Slot Aluminum Profile With Yellow Zinc Plating , others call it hammer head bolt. We use both terms interchangeably.

Q: Will this fit my 80/20 profile?

A: Most likely yes. 80/20 uses standard metric T-slots. Tell us your slot width (6mm, 8mm, or 10mm) and we'll match the bolt head size.

Q: Do I need a spring on the T bolt?

A: No, standard T bolts don't have springs. Spring-loaded versions exist for convenience (they hold the head in place so you don't have to reach into the slot). But most people use standard T bolts just fine.

Q: Can I get these in grade 8.8?

A: Yes. Standard is grade 4.8 or 6.8. Grade 8.8 is available for higher strength needs – just tell us when ordering.
