Installation Procedure

1. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris. Apply anti-seize compound if specified for the application. 2. Hand-thread the screw to engage at least two full turns, ensuring proper alignment. 3. Tighten the screw to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification using a calibrated torque wrench, avoiding over-tightening.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force, leading to thread stripping or fastener breakage.Always use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for the specific application and mating material.
Cross-threading the fastener, causing damage to both the screw and the tapped hole.Start threading by hand to confirm smooth engagement before applying any tool torque. If resistance is felt, back out and realign.

Common Applications
