Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, select the appropriate size spanner for the hexagon head, ensuring the tool is not worn to prevent rounding the bolt corners. For structural applications, always use compatible flat and spring washers to distribute pressure evenly and prevent loosening due to vibration. Although the BZP finish provides good corrosion resistance, it is recommended to keep these setscrews in a dry, low-humidity storage area before use. Avoid using these in direct contact with caustic substances, as this can degrade the zinc plating and lead to surface rust. If the setscrews show signs of deformation after removal, they should be discarded rather than reused, as high-tensile fasteners are often designed for single-load structural integrity.
