<div dir="ltr">Ray<div><br></div><div>Gave up on stainless fasteners and anti-sieze a long time ago after discovering <a href="http://www.duracon.info/p/why-dura-con.html">Dura-Con Fasteners</a>. Better corrsion resistance against aluminum than stainless and no galling! We have used them for training where systems are assembled and disassembled several times. Even with anti-sieze still would have to hack a few fasteners off every time. With Dura-Con no more problem. I also believe that they are also cheaper than quality Stainless ( not all stainless fasteners are created equal!) . Try em you'll be asking every racking company to switch over from stainless!</div>

Definitely recommended on all SS hardware. I took apart another installer5's rack to add modules, and half the bolts were ruined and had to be replaced.<br>
I recommend a torque wrench too, its super easy to over5 tighten the SS hardware.<br>
