Fastener and Hardware Information Sheet *Electroplated galvanized fastener and metal products are typically not accepted by the building codes for use in exterior applications, regardless of the type of wood used. Fasteners (and other metal products) for use with NatureWood preserved wood products include: - Hot-Dip Galvanized* (The minimum standard) Fastener, hardware, and metal product manufacturers have suggested the minimum Hot-Dip Galvanized requirements for use with treated wood should conform to the following ASTM Standards: ASTM- A153 (for Hot Dip fastener products) and ASTM- A 653 (Coating Designation G-185 for Hot-Dip connector and sheet products). - Stainless Steel Stainless steel fasteners and connectors are required for Permanent Wood Foundations below grade and are recommended for use with treated wood in other severe exterior applications such as swimming pools, salt water exposure, etc.

- Type 304 and 316 are the recommended grades to use. - Other fasteners, hardware or any metal product as recommended by their manufacturer There may be additional products (other than stainless steel or G-185 Hot-Dip galvanized) which are suitable for use with NatureWood treated wood. Please consult with the individual fastener, hardware, or metal product manufacturer for recommendations for use of their products with NatureWood treated wood.

- Aluminum ... more. less.

should not be used in direct contact with NatureWood treated wood Spacer materials or other physical barriers are recommended to prevent direct contact of NatureWood treated wood and aluminum products. Other alternative wood preservative manufacturer 9s recommendations include 1 : CSI fastener recommendations for use with ACQ products include: " Hot-Dip galvanized " Stainless steel " Other fasteners and hardware as recommended by the hardware manufacturer As a minimum requirement for use with treated wood, hot dip galvanized coated fasteners should conform to ASTM Standard A153 and hot dip galvanized coated connectors should conform to ASTM Standard A653 (Class G-185). For optimum performance and longevity in treated wood, fasteners and connectors fabricated from stainless steel should be considered. Other types of screws and connectors coated with proprietary anti-corrosion technologies are also available for use with treated wood. Consult individual fastener manufacturer 9s recommendations for information about the performance of their products with treated wood. ARCH fastener recommendations for use with Copper Azole products include: Hot-dipped galvanized fasteners (meeting ASTM A 153) and connectors (ASTM A 653 Class G185 sheet), or better, are recommended for protection against the moisture often present where treated wood is usually used. For Permanent Wood Foundations, use 304 or 316 stainless steel. Aluminum should not be used in direct contact with this wood. Warning-Certain metal products (including fasteners, hardware and flashing) may corrode when in direct contact with NatureWood products. To prevent premature corrosion and failure it is important to follow the recommendations of the manufacturers for all metal products. Please visit www.naturewoodproducts.com for recent updates.
