Okay, I've done a fair bit of searching here (search engine isn't the best, so perhaps I'm just missing it) and the internets and I can't come up with definitive zipper weights. Am I just dreaming or shouldn't there be a table with two columns; zipper size, and weight (g/ft would be my preference)? Does anyone possess this super-secret information?

TIA,
Chris

I have not seen this listed either. I can weigh some #3 coil with double pulls if that will help you.

Generic values, probably about right for most brands

Plastic #3 coil zipper: ~12 g/m
Plastic #5 coil zipper: ~28 g/m

Metal double-sided #3 slider: ~3.2 g

Sorry – can't answer for others.
Cheers

I recently measured 45g for 90" of Uretek (waterproof) plastic #5 zip.

Double sided metal sliders were 4.2g but I think that was after I clipped off the zipper pulls and replaced them with some spectra cord.
