Installation Procedure

1. Clean both the screw threads and the mating tapped hole or nut to remove any debris or contaminants. 2. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads to prevent galling, especially in titanium-to-titanium applications. 3. Insert the screw and engage the threads by hand to ensure proper alignment and prevent cross-threading. 4. Tighten the screw to the specified torque using an appropriate hex socket wrench, applying steady pressure.
