Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure you are using high-quality steel nuts that are correctly sized for an M12 thread. Do not attempt to force the stud into a hole that is improperly tapped or significantly smaller than the fastener. To maintain the bright zinc-plated finish, avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners. If the studs are stored in a humid environment, consider applying a light coating of machine oil to prevent initial oxidation before they are put into service. When cutting the stud to size, file down any sharp burrs at the cut end to ensure the nut can be threaded on smoothly without binding.
