Compatibility of Mixing Stainless Steel & Galvanized Hardware

Is mixing stainless steel & galvanized hardware compatible for use on pressure treated lumber? Thank you!

Hi, Eddy. They should not touch. You can use stainless for some stuff and galvanized for other stuff, but you should not be putting stainless washers on galvanized bolts or vice versa.
