Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Over-tightening can strip threads or deform the mating component.Always refer to torque specifications for the specific application and materials being joined. Use a calibrated torque wrench.
Using the wrong size wrench can round off the hex head, making removal difficult.Select a wrench or socket that fits snugly onto the hex head without excessive play.

Common Applications

  • Marine and offshore equipment assembly
  • Chemical processing plant construction
  • Food and beverage processing machinery

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves when handling fasteners.
  • Ensure compatibility of 316 stainless steel with the surrounding environment to prevent galvanic corrosion if dissimilar metals are used.
