Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Steps:
Ensure the material thickness is appropriate for a 16mm length screw.
Align the component with the pre-drilled M6 clearance hole.
Insert the screw through the components and hand-thread the included hex nut onto the back.
Use a screwdriver and a wrench to tighten until firm. Do not overtighten, as this may strip the threading.
Compatibility:
Use only with M6 compatible threaded components.
Ensure the driver bit matches the Pozi profile to prevent damaging the recess.
Care:
Keep fasteners in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the zinc finish.
If the surface becomes dusty, wipe with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could strip the protective plating.
