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.

After an afternoon searching the web I found lots of tech sites with
the info but my math skills are limited to + - x / and don't know how
to convert engineering units to simple old fashioned pounds of pull.

So how many pounds pull can a ¼" x 20 x 2" 316 SS PHMS take before
the nut rips off or the head pops off?

Also, any good rigging/engineering sources for a non engineering type?

Thanks,

Bob
