Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a compatible hex key (Allen wrench) sized appropriately for the socket drive. Before installation, confirm the depth of the pilot hole or the threading of the receiving component to ensure the screw length (16mm) is appropriate for the material thickness. Because these are stainless steel, avoid using carbon steel tools to drive them, as this can transfer particles and potentially lead to surface rust (cross-contamination). Keep the screws stored in a dry location to maintain the finish. If used in extreme marine or coastal environments, occasional cleaning and checking for galvanic corrosion is recommended, though the A2-70 steel provides significant innate protection.
