Detailed Engineering Specifications

Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances, this M17 x 105mm brass hex cap screw features a head width of 11mm, ensuring secure engagement with standard tooling. Constructed from high-grade brass (commonly UNS C36000 or similar), it exhibits exceptional resistance to galvanic corrosion, making it ideal for marine, electrical, and plumbing installations where moisture and aggressive media are present. The material's inherent non-magnetic properties also make it suitable for sensitive electronic assemblies. Its ductility allows for some deformation without fracture, contributing to its reliability under moderate stress.

Installation Procedure

1. Clean threads of both the screw and the mating hole to ensure smooth insertion and prevent galling. 2. Thread the screw into the tapped hole or nut by hand for the initial few turns to confirm proper alignment and avoid cross-threading. 3. Tighten the screw to the required torque specification using an appropriately sized wrench or socket on the hex head. Avoid overtightening, which can damage the brass material.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force which can strip threads or deform the brass.Always adhere to torque specifications and use appropriate tools. Brass is softer than steel and requires careful handling.
Installing in environments requiring high shear or tensile strength, where brass may not be suitable.Assess the load requirements of your application. For high-strength applications, consider stainless steel or alloy steel fasteners.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and fittings
  • Electrical grounding and bonding components
  • Plumbing fixtures and pipe connections

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Brass can undergo stress corrosion cracking in the presence of ammonia and moisture; avoid such environments.
  • While corrosion-resistant, brass is a relatively soft metal; do not use in applications requiring high load-bearing capacity or resistance to abrasion.
