#5 Metal Zipper Head Sliders, Electroplated

MH #5 Metal Zipper Head Slider is the sliding head for a #5-gauge zipper, cast in metal and used to open and close nylon, metal, and plastic zipper chains.

The slider clamps onto the #5 chain and guides the two rows of teeth together as it travels, which makes it the wear part that gets replaced when a zipper stops closing.

MH offers it in a non-locking version that runs freely and an auto-lock version whose pull holds the slider in place once released.

The metal body is surface-treated by electroplating, rack plating, electrophoresis, or painting, and that treatment sets both the color and the corrosion resistance of the finished head.
