Detailed Engineering Specifications

Specified by design engineers worldwide, this M20 x 149mm brass hex head cap screw boasts a nominal thread diameter of 20mm and a total length of 149mm. The hex head measures 30mm across flats, facilitating secure torque application with standard tooling. Constructed from high-quality brass (typically UNS C36000 or equivalent), it exhibits excellent machinability, good tensile strength, and exceptional resistance to corrosion, particularly in marine, chemical, and humid environments. Its non-magnetic properties also make it suitable for sensitive electrical applications.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using incorrect torque, leading to thread stripping or insufficient clamping.Refer to torque specifications for brass fasteners of this size and material, or use a calibrated torque wrench.
Cross-threading during installation due to misalignment.Carefully align the screw with the tapped hole or nut before engaging the threads, and start tightening by hand.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and fittings
  • Electrical connectors and enclosures
  • Decorative architectural elements
  • Plumbing and HVAC systems

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Brass is a softer metal than steel; avoid excessive force that could damage threads or the fastener.
  • While corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals may degrade brass material.
