National Marker N342519 Stainless Steel Tee Hinge 6 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MARKER N342519 is a 6-inch extra heavy tee hinge constructed from stainless steel for lasting rust resistance. Also cataloged as National model V285, this hinge is rated ACQ-safe, making it compatible with chemically treated lumber as well as naturally durable woods such as cedar and redwood. A patented bearing design eliminates metal-to-metal contact, resulting in smooth, quiet operation over the full service life of the hinge. Offset screw holes provide additional pull-out strength at the mounting points. This hinge meets ANSI/BHMA A156.20 bearing grade cycle requirements at 100,000 cycles, confirming its durability for demanding residential and light commercial gate and door applications.

This tee hinge is suited for exterior gate, fence, barn door, and heavy door installations where corrosion resistance and long-term performance are required. The tight-pin design accommodates both right-hand and left-hand applications without modification, simplifying installation across varied project configurations. It is appropriate for use by carpenters, contractors, and skilled tradespeople working with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, redwood, or other premium wood substrates.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters or general contractors using standard hand tools and fasteners appropriate for the substrate material. Ensure mounting surfaces are solid and free of rot or damage before fastening. When installing on pressure-treated lumber, use fasteners rated for ACQ compatibility to prevent galvanic corrosion. Verify door or gate weight and hinge count requirements before finalizing installation.
