Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a wrench that does not fully engage the hex head.Always use a wrench or socket that precisely fits the 31mm head width to prevent cam-out and damage to the fastener.
Applying excessive torque, leading to thread stripping or fastener fatigue.Consult engineering specifications or use a torque wrench to apply the recommended torque value for M4 threads in the specific substrate material.

Common Applications

  • Marine hardware and equipment
  • Chemical processing plant components
  • Food and beverage machinery
  • Outdoor structural assemblies

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure compatibility with the mating material to prevent galvanic corrosion.
  • Store in a dry environment to maintain optimal corrosion resistance.
