When installing stainless steel hex nuts, the following steps can be followed:
1. Prepare tools: It is usually necessary to prepare a wrench or socket wrench of appropriate size.
2. Clean the stud: Ensure that the surface of the stud that matches the nut is clean, free of debris, oil stains, or rust.
3. Align the stud: Accurately align the internal thread of the hex nut with the external thread of the stud.
4. Preliminary tightening: Use your hand to screw the nut onto the stud a few times to make it preliminarily positioned.
5. Tool tightening: Use a wrench or socket wrench to gradually tighten the nut in a clockwise direction. For installations with torque requirements, a torque wrench should be used to achieve the specified torque value.
6. Check the tightness: After tightening, check the tightness of the nut to ensure that the connection is firm and reliable.
If multiple nuts are installed, they should be gradually tightened in a certain order and cross pattern to ensure even force distribution.
It should be noted that during installation, excessive tightening should be avoided to prevent damage to the bolts or nuts, and the tightening force should be sufficient to meet the requirements of the connection.
