Can I use stainless steel joist hangers/fasteners with the new PT preservatives?
Yes. Stainless steel hangers and fasteners can be used. However, most metal components are not readily available in stainless steel which practically limits the use of stainless steel components. Do not use stainless steel fasteners with galvanized connectors and vice versa. Grace Vycor Deck Protector is not needed if stainless steel components are used.
