Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening the cap screw, which can strip threads or cause material fatigue.Utilize a torque wrench to adhere to specified torque values for the fastener and mating material.
Using the wrong size or type of wrench, leading to cam-out and damage to the hex head.Employ a properly sized six-point socket or wrench that fits snugly on the hex head.

Common Applications

  • Heavy Machinery Assembly
  • Structural Steel Fabrication
  • Industrial Equipment Mounting

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure the mating threads are of sufficient strength to support the load.
  • Always use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation.
