Frequently Asked Questions
What material is Levaplate®?
We currently offer it in mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
Can Levaplate® be powder coated?
Yes — you can leave the set screws in place during sandblasting and powder coating. After coating, simply break them free to make your adjustments.
Important Note:
For mild steel options, once the screws are adjusted, raw metal may be exposed between the threaded areas. In wet conditions, this can allow rust to form and seep out over time. To prevent this, we recommend applying a rust-preventive product or touch-up paint to the top side before final fastening — or consider upgrading to our stainless steel or aluminum options for long-term durability.
Is it weatherproof?
If you plan to install Levaplate® outside, we recommend using a rustproof coating for mild steel products before installing it. However, the best options for exterior applications are stainless steel and aluminum.
Are there other set screw sizes?
Our standard size set screw 3/4 x 3/8 in. comes standard with all our Levaplate™ products.
We also offer an extended 3/4 x 1/2 in. intended for sloped surfaces of 3 degrees or more.
