Pair M20 with the matching M20 bolt or screw, plus a M20 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
When to Step Up or Down from M20
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M20 class 8.8, step up to M24 class 8.8 (or move to M20 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M16 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
