How to Choose Fasteners When Installing E-track
Looking to install an E-track system, and what types of fasteners to choose for installation? We recommend three different fastener options based on your trailer and needs.
Through-Bolting Fasteners for E-Track
Through-bolting fasteners use a nut and bolt system to create the best possible hold. These products are typically used in floor installations, where a nut, bolt, and washer on the underside will not be an issue.
The 1/4" diameter bolt is available in two sizes: 1-1/2" hex bolt and a 2" hex bolt.
Self-Drilling Tip Screws for Metal
Need to install E-track into metal? Hex head tip screws make it easier to drive through the metal while preventing slippage. A self-drilling tip means you won’t have to pre-drill holes in most metal surfaces unless specified otherwise.
Available in two sizes: 1-1/2" hex screw and a 2" hex screw.
Wood Screws
Installing into wood? Hex head wood screws reduce the chance of slippage while driving, and the wide washer head creates excellent holding power in wood.
Available in a 3/4" wood screw and 1-1/2" wood screw.
