Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, use a correctly calibrated torque wrench to avoid over-tightening. These screws are compatible with standard M6 nuts and washers. Because the black oxide finish lacks the corrosion resistance of zinc or stainless steel, it is recommended to apply a thin coat of machine oil or a corrosion inhibitor if the screws are to be used in unheated garages or semi-exposed locations. For critical structural joints, always consult engineering specifications to ensure Grade 8.8 is sufficient for the load requirements.
