Setup, Compatibility & Care
For proper installation, use a compatible hex wrench or socket that fits the head profile perfectly to prevent rounding. When working with high tensile bolts, it is advisable to use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve the manufacturer's specified clamping force for your specific joint. Keep the threads lightly lubricated with machine oil if the environment is prone to humidity, and store in a dry, organized container to prevent thread damage. Ensure the bolt length is appropriate; for best results, allow for at least 1.5 times the bolt diameter of engagement in the tapped material.
