Metalware products, the main purpose of which is the fastening of elements, are divided into two types – configuration and metric. The products of the first type include screws, nails, self–tapping screws, etc. – roughly speaking, all those hardware having different shapes and configurations. A distinctive characteristic of metric fasteners is the presence of threaded threads – washers, bolts, nuts, etc. Let’s figure out what the most used hardware products are:
– The nail. One of the most ancient representatives of hardware. It consists of a cap and a rod with a pointed end. The main purpose is the bonding of various structures and materials together.
– Bolts, nuts, washers. In most cases, all three hardware are used in symbiosis – for a reliable detachable attachment. The basis of the bolt is a threaded rod on which the nut is screwed (a washer can also be used). At the end of the rod there is a cap that allows you to fix the rest of the part.
– Screws, self-tapping screws, screws. Similar hardware designed for fastening materials. The main differences are that for a screw and a screw, it is required to create a hole or thread with a tap, for self–tapping screws this is not required.
– Anchors, dowels. For both hardware, the main goal is to hold the structure on any surface. The main difference is that the anchor is an independent fastening unit, and for fastening with a dowel, the use of additional hardware is required.
