Cast Iron Tread
Cast Iron Tread
(OP)
I'm looking to have a cast iron tread attach to a C12 stringer for an exterior stair. How would I go about attaching this to the steel? I could use end angles, but I can't weld the two metals, what type of bolts do I use for the attachment?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I could use that to attach the angle to the stringer, but not the tread. I'm looking for an underside mounted screw or a low profile bolt that could be installed from the top of the tread but would not cause a tripping hazard.
Thanks for your help.

I wouldn't suggest a high strength bolt that might be fully tightened and then crack the tread. Regular machine bolts with a counter sunk head should work nicely.
