We supply these charcoal painted truss head screws on a revolving blanket purchase order basis, with annual usage at approximately 100K pieces. The truss head screws measure 14-10 X 1-3/4 with type A sheet metal screw thread. The large sharp threads on these screws, combined with the large surface area of the truss head, make these parts very difficult to handle. Without extra care in packaging, with layers of protection between every 1,000 pcs or so, the painted head gets scratched enough to cause cosmetic issues.

These custom 1"-8 grade 5 serrated hex flange nuts were produced at approximately 27,000 pieces, with zinc clear finish per ASTM B633 Type III.  Full certs were provided with the parts to document surface and core hardness, material chemical properties, proof load, and certificate of conformance.  Outside diameter was set at 1.95"-2.00" and overall nut height at .700"-.730".

This is a custom shoulder u-bolt we supplied to our construction customer. They were manufactured domestically using plain steel material, using 1/2 bar stock.

Plain A449 material was used to manufacture these custom 1/2 X 5 bent concrete anchor bolts domestically in the USA and the parts were ready to ship within 6 business days from order. 1/2" bar stock material was used and approximately 2 inches of coarse thread was incorporated on each leg. One leg was set at 3" and the other at 5" overall length from the inside of the bend.

These custom bent eye bolts were produced together with matching large round u-bolts in A36 material.  3/4-10 thread was incorporated on both parts and 6 eye bolts were produced together with 21 u-bolts, a relatively small production run.  Parts were produced within 4 days of order confirmation but could have been done faster with an expedited rush order and fee if necessary.  The diameter of the eye was set to 1-1/2" and the thread length was set to 2-1/2".  We were approx 1/4" shy of the thread length requested however as going beyond that would encroach onto the bending material.  The round u-bolts were made to 3-1/2" between the legs and 4" for the inside length.  1" of 3/4-10 thread was incorporated on each leg.

These are custom captive stainless steel screws we supplied to our construction customer, who refers to them as "Gripper Screws".  Production was done domestically in the USA at approximately 5,000 pieces and a lead time of 6-8 weeks.  The multi-step flat head was made using a cold heading process and the 10-32 thread was rolled at 0.2" in length.  The diameter of the unthreaded shoulder was set at 0.14" +/-.015.

These custom construction bent anchors were manufactured domestically using A36 material with plain finish.  1-1/4" bar stock was used and the threaded portion was turned down to allow for cutting M42 thread.  Overall length was set at 1,000MM or 39.37", with the outside hook measuring 180MM.  Tricky part to bend within tolerance but ended up turning out great.  Two heavy hex nuts and washers per anchor bolt were included with the shipment.

We supplied approximately 450 pieces of these custom domestic L anchor bolts to our construction engineering customer, with full certs.  The parts had to be domestic made using domestic melt material as well in ASTM A675 Grade 80 steel, with plain finish.  1/2-13 thread was incorporated on the 15" long leg, with 13.5" of actual thread - having to cut this length of thread on each piece made the production process significantly slower.  The short leg measured 2".

Overall length measured 10.75" +/- 0.20" and 1/2-6 lag screw thread was incorporated at one side, with the other side using rolled 1/2-13 thread.  Approximately 5.5" of lag thread was designed into the part and 1.2" of the machine screw thread.  The crimped shoulder was set to a height of .37" +/-.02" and a length of .625" to allow use of a wrench during the application.

Custom J-Bolts made domestically using A36 material without any finish. Our customer needed the parts urgently and we were able to get them made and shipped within 4 days of order. 1/2 inch bar stock was used with 1-1/4" inside width on the J-turn and 1-3/4" on the short leg.

Over the years we have provided countless custom knurled hardware pieces - below is a snapshot of a custom bolt we are working on producing for a customer that is intended to be hammered into a pre-drilled steel plate.  We noticed that the spec calls out for diamond knurling but realized that probably won't work for the intended purpose, which is to keep the bolt from spinning after being inserted.

After discussing it with the factory engineers we suggested going with a straight knurl instead of the diamond knurl.  The straight knurl would work better in keeping engagement.  We put together these samples to allow our customer to test the idea before incorporating it fully into the production run.  The production parts would be made using the same 41L40 steel material with a zinc plated finish.

These are custom L brackets we provided our long time OEM customer.  We initially had 100 pieces produced for testing and engineering inspection prior to a full commitment for 20,000 estimated annual usage.  Plain low carbon steel material was used and the initial sample lot of 100 pcs was done within 1 week of print confirmation.  The outside dimensions were 3/4 X 1/4 on the narrow side and 1/2 X 1/2 on the wider section, with 1/8" diameter holes drilled 1/2" from the 90 degree angle on each side.
