8" .120 Wire Spring Steel S Hooks for Powder Coating Racks

.120 wire 8-inch S hooks are hanging hardware used to suspend metal parts from powder coat racks during the electrostatic spray and oven cure process. The spring steel construction ensures a secure grip on both the rack bar and the part, maintaining the electrical ground path required for proper powder adhesion.

These S hooks are fabricated from .120 diameter spring steel wire. The .120 gauge provides a balance of flexibility for easy part loading and sufficient rigidity to hold parts securely throughout the coating and cure cycle without permanent deformation under normal production loads.

is sold in lots of 500 pieces at $81.20 per lot (standard quantity). 1,000-piece lots are also available. Smaller quantities can be requested by contacting Creative Coating Solutions directly. In-stock orders typically ship within 2–4 business days.

Hang the S hook over the rack bar so the top loop contacts bare metal on the rack. Hang the part from the lower loop, ensuring the hook contacts bare, uncoated metal on the part. Good metal-to-metal contact at both connections is essential for the electrostatic charge to flow and the powder to adhere properly. Clean hooks of powder buildup regularly to maintain grounding integrity.

Yes. Spring steel S hooks are designed for repeated use. After each cure cycle, powder buildup on the hooks should be stripped periodically using a burn-off oven or chemical stripper to restore bare metal contact points. Replace hooks that show permanent bend, corrosion, or loss of spring tension.

The 8-inch S hook is the shortest in the CCS .120 wire range, making it best suited for smaller, lighter parts with limited hanging clearance. The 10-inch and 12-inch versions provide additional hang length for larger parts or to create more oven clearance. All three use the same .120 gauge spring steel wire and the same pricing structure.

Yes. While the standard lot is 500 pieces ($81.20), smaller quantities are available upon request. Contact Creative Coating Solutions at 618-741-0740 or through the website to discuss smaller order quantities and custom pricing.
