Detailed Engineering Specifications

Specified by design engineers worldwide, this M20 x 134mm Hex Head Cap Screw is manufactured from high-grade brass (typically UNS C26000 or C36000 alloy) for its inherent corrosion resistance, non-magnetic properties, and excellent machinability. The M20 nominal diameter, 134mm length, and 34mm head width conform to industry standards, ensuring compatibility with standard tools and mating components. Brass offers moderate tensile strength suitable for many structural and electrical applications, and its antimicrobial properties are advantageous in specific environments.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a steel fastener in a corrosive environment, leading to premature failure.Always specify brass or other corrosion-resistant materials for environments prone to oxidation or chemical attack.
Overtightening brass fasteners, which can lead to galling or thread damage.Adhere to recommended torque specifications for brass fasteners, which are generally lower than for steel.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and fittings
  • Electrical connectors and grounding
  • Architectural and decorative fixtures
  • Corrosive chemical processing equipment

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Brass has lower tensile strength than steel; do not use in applications requiring high load-bearing capacity without proper engineering analysis.
  • While brass is corrosion-resistant, it can still be affected by certain aggressive chemicals; consult material compatibility charts.
