Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure proper installation, always use compatible nuts and washers that feature matching 3/4" BSW threading; forcing different thread patterns will damage the integrity of the fastener. When cutting the stud to size, secure the rod in a bench vise and use a high-quality hacksaw or power cutter, filing the edges afterward to prevent burrs that might hinder nut application. Although the studding is zinc-plated, it is recommended to apply a small amount of lubricant during assembly to prevent thread galling, especially if the fasteners will be tightened or removed frequently. Periodically inspect the exposed threads for signs of damage or wear if located in high-vibration areas.
