- Stud bolts
- Nuts and washers
- U-bolts
- Threaded rod
- Circlips and cotter pins
Materials & standards
- SS316 / A4
- Brass
- Silicon bronze
- Metric and imperial sizes
Choosing the right marine fasteners
On deck, in pump rooms and anywhere near seawater, ordinary carbon steel or A2 (304) stainless fasteners corrode quickly. A4 (316) stainless contains molybdenum and holds up far better in salt spray and splash zones, which is why it is the usual marine choice.
Brass and silicon bronze fasteners are used on boat fittings, timber and some hull work, where they resist corrosion and avoid problems when mixed with bronze fittings. Mixing very different metals in seawater can cause galvanic corrosion, so tell us what the fastener is going into.
We supply hex bolts, set screws, studs, nuts, washers, U-bolts and threaded rod in metric and imperial sizes, and can quote complete stud bolt sets for flanges.

Questions
What is the difference between A2 and A4 stainless?
A4 (316) contains molybdenum and resists seawater corrosion far better than A2 (304), so it is the usual choice on deck and below the waterline.
Can stainless bolts be used with aluminium?
They can, but seawater makes galvanic corrosion more likely. Insulating washers or sleeves are often used. Tell us the application and we will suggest options.
