Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening which can strip threads or cause material fatigue.Utilize a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's recommended specifications or consult engineering drawings for precise torque values.
Using the incorrect thread pitch for the mating component.Confirm the thread size and pitch (M14 x 1.5 is standard for M14) of both the screw and the receiving hole or nut to ensure compatibility.
