Hi Everyone:

How much pull can a 316 SS PH Machine Screw ¼ x 20 handle before it
fails?

Basically I want to know how many fasters I need to use to secure some
deck hardware.

Most often the manufacturer of the deck hardware will have done the
work for you when they decided on the size, location and number of
mounting holes. Use the maximum size fastener that they provided for.
