Stainless Steel M8 78mm Small Hanger Bolts are compact, versatile fasteners designed for applications requiring a strong connection into wood or similar substrates, coupled with a machine-threaded stud for external attachments. The “M8” designation refers to the metric machine screw thread diameter, and “78mm” indicates the overall length, making them suitable for situations where space is limited or a shorter embedment depth is sufficient. Made from stainless steel, these hanger bolts offer good corrosion resistance.

Definition

A Stainless Steel M8 78mm Small Hanger Bolt is a dual-threaded fastener constructed from stainless steel, featuring a lag screw thread at one end for secure embedment into wood or soft materials, and an M8 (8mm diameter) machine screw thread at the other. With an overall length of 78mm, these bolts are characterized by their relatively small size, making them ideal for precise applications where a compact and strong connection is needed, benefiting from the corrosion resistance of stainless steel.

Key Features

• Material: Made from stainless steel (typically A2/AISI 304 or similar grade), providing good resistance to rust and corrosion in various environments.
• Metric M8 Thread: Features a standard M8 machine screw thread at one end, compatible with M8 nuts, washers, and other components.
• 78mm Overall Length: The compact length makes it suitable for applications with limited space or where a shorter embedment depth is sufficient.
• Lag Screw Thread: The other end has a coarse lag screw thread designed for strong anchorage into wood, particle board, or similar materials.
• Dual-Thread Design: Combines the benefits of a wood screw and a machine screw into a single fastener.
• Strong Hold: The lag thread provides excellent pull-out resistance in appropriate substrates.

Advantages

• Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel material ensures durability and longevity, especially in environments where moisture or mild corrosive elements are present.
• Compact Size: The 78mm length is advantageous for tight spaces or applications where a less protrusive connection is desired.
• Versatile Fastening: Allows for secure attachment into wood while providing a standardized machine-threaded stud for various components.
• Clean Finish: When fully embedded, the lag screw end creates a neat and strong internal connection, leaving only the machine thread exposed.
• Reliable Connection: Provides a robust and stable anchor point for mounting or connecting elements.

Applications

• Furniture Manufacturing and Repair: Ideal for attaching legs, casters, or other hardware to wooden furniture components where a strong M8 threaded connection is needed.
• Cabinetry and Shelf Mounting: Used in woodworking for securing shelves, internal fittings, or external hardware to cabinet structures.
• Small Fixture Installation: Suitable for mounting smaller fixtures, brackets, or decorative elements to wooden walls or panels.
• DIY Projects: A versatile fastener for various home improvement and craft projects requiring a compact and durable wood-to-metal connection.
• Electronics Enclosures: Can be used to secure components or mounting plates within wooden enclosures.
• Signage and Display Mounting: For anchoring lightweight signs or display elements to wooden surfaces, providing an M8 threaded standoff.
