Frequently asked questions
Can I share a part drawing?
Yes. Mark critical dimensions and any material or finish requirements.
Which thread details should I include in an inquiry?
Specify metric or inch threads, nominal diameter, pitch or threads per inch, and the required length. Include the applicable standard or a drawing, together with matching nuts or tapped-hole information. Similar-looking threads should not be assumed to fit.
How should I specify material and surface treatment?
List the base material or grade separately from plating or coating. Describe indoor or outdoor exposure, contact with other metals and any appearance requirements. The quotation should identify the proposed material and finish rather than relying on a photograph.
What should be checked before approving a sample?
Check the thread fit, head clearance, bearing surface and assembly stack against your drawing. Include any required dimensional, mechanical or finish checks in the purchase specification; an attractive sample alone does not establish suitability.
