Installation Procedure

1. Select the appropriate hex wrench for the 19mm head width. 2. Align the screw with the pre-tapped hole or mating component. 3. Thread the screw in by hand initially to prevent cross-threading. 4. Tighten the screw to the required torque specification using the hex wrench, ensuring a secure connection.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using excessive force leading to thread stripping.Always use a calibrated torque wrench and adhere to recommended torque values for M23 fasteners to avoid over-tightening.
Cross-threading the screw by forcing it.Start threading by hand for at least two full rotations to ensure proper alignment before using a tool.

Common Applications
