Steel sign post brackets
Stainless steel sign posts and brackets provide a very durable combination for tough applications like street signs and traffic signals. These small but super strong steel bands are able to handle even the toughest conditions depending upon their alloy of manufacture, and are so durable they continue to be the standard for heavy duty municipal and industrial settings, which is why they are recommended over lighter banding materials such as poly or plastic.Common Uses for Stainless Steel Sign Posts and Brackets
Stainless steel sign post brackets are commonly installed in areas where corrosion is a concern and longevity is important. In typical city or roadside conditions, they provide resistance to car exhaust, road contaminants and rain and snow. In more taxing environments, the material's resistance to chemicals is one of the most important features of these brackets. These products can provide a very long life and provide great value to cities and municipalities that save on materials and labor from not having to replace sign hardware as often.Another major benefit of steel sign post brackets is the ability to fit these them to almost any pole, regardless of width. Steel banding can be cut to any width or length, making it ideal for cinching down to get a secure, snug fit using a tool such as a ratchet tensioner. This also allows for greater flexibility by installers as they can mount the sign wherever they need to, and not just where pre-drilled holes might be on the sign pole. So no matter if you are mounting signs to a small street sign, or hanging them from the latest style of traffic lights, these brackets will do what you need.
Choices in Alloys and Materials
For outdoor applications where no highly-corrosive materials are present, 201 stainless steel sign posts and brackets are usually the choice. Durable and very affordable, they are perfect for municipalities and normal parking lot use.304 stainless steel isn't as strong as 201 stainless steel, but it can hold up to chemicals and other contaminants without corroding. It is commonly used in industrial applications where 201 would be at risk of corroding due to chemical exposure.
316 stainless steel is the most corrosion resistant of all. It is also the weakest of the stainless steels and the most expensive. However, in environments such as refineries and others where corrosion is a constant concern, it is an excellent choice.
