Detailed Engineering Specifications

Manufactured under strict quality controls, this M8 x 86mm brass hex head cap screw features a nominal diameter of 8mm and a total length of 86mm. The hexagonal head has a measured width of 21mm, providing ample leverage for secure tightening with standard wrenches. Composed of high-grade brass (typically UNS C26000 or similar), it exhibits excellent ductility, non-magnetic properties, and resistance to galvanic corrosion, making it suitable for environments where moisture or corrosive agents are present. Its inherent conductivity also makes it a preferred choice for electrical connections.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the wrong size wrench, leading to head stripping.Always use a wrench or socket that precisely fits the 21mm head width of the cap screw.
Over-tightening the brass screw, which can cause deformation or thread damage.Refer to torque charts for brass fasteners or tighten until snug with a slight additional turn, monitoring for resistance.

Common Applications

  • Electrical connectors and grounding systems
  • Decorative hardware and architectural fittings
  • Marine environments and coastal applications

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Brass can deform under excessive torque; do not over-tighten.
  • While corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals may degrade brass.
