Powder Coating Hooks - Which Hook Should You Choose?

S-Hooks have bends facing opposite directions, making the shape a great choice for specific paint line configurations. 

You may require that a hook be secured in one direction while your parts need to face the opposite way. The S-Hook, seen above, allows for this. The shape has a wide gap, as well, which is helpful when you have numerous parts with different shapes and widths.

S-Hook Load Capacity by Diameter:

• 0.044" - 2 lbs
• 0.062" - 4 lbs
• 0.076" - 8 lbs
• 0.120" - 25 lbs
• 0.180" - 50 lbs

C-Hooks are beneficial if you have several different parts with varying thicknesses. 

The bend and gap of a C-Hook, shown above, are wide and face the same direction. The wide width accommodates parts of all different shapes and sizes, making it very versatile.

V-Hooks are ideal for higher load capacity if coating build-up is of concern.  

The bend of the v-hook, pictured above, comes to a single point – allowing each hung part to settle in the same place. The angle at which parts are painted will also remain consistent, as parts always sit in identical positions.

CV-Hooks is a diverse offering that combines the benefits of both V-Hooks and C-Hooks. 

CV hooks offer bends in two different shapes. The wide, c-shaped bend on one end is roomy and can accept parts of many different sizes, while the pointed, v-shaped bend on the other end helps eliminate paint build-up. This hook is handy when working with assorted parts, as you can choose which benefit is best for each part.
