Hexagonal Head Screw 100473 for Gas Engines

The Hexagonal Head Screw (Part Number 100473) is a critical fastener used in gas engines. Its primary function is to securely join components, ensuring structural integrity and maintaining a tight seal under high pressure and temperature conditions typical of engine operation.

Its application is straightforward but requires precision. It is installed using a standard hex key or wrench into pre-tapped holes on specified engine parts, such as certain covers, housings, or brackets. Proper installation involves tightening to the exact torque value specified in engine's official service manual to prevent under- or over-tightening, which could lead to leaks or component damage.

In essence, this screw's role is to provide reliable, robust clamping force. It contributes directly to engine safety, performance, and longevity by holding vital parts firmly in place, ensuring proper alignment, and preventing the ingress of contaminants or leaks of fluids.
