Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the brass screw, leading to thread stripping or deformation.Adhere to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for brass fasteners, or use a torque wrench for precise application.
Using the wrong size wrench, resulting in cam-out and damage to the hex head.Always use a wrench or socket that precisely matches the 17mm head width of the cap screw.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and fittings
  • Electrical enclosures and equipment
  • Food processing machinery
  • Chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Brass is a softer material than steel; avoid excessive force that could damage threads or the head.
  • While brass offers good corrosion resistance, it can still be susceptible to dezincification in certain aggressive chemical environments. Consult material compatibility charts.
