It suits applications where a 1/2-13 UNC thread engagement is specified, including securing conduit strut, equipment frames, and general hardware connections. The Armor Coat finish provides a measure of protection in moderately corrosive environments. This nut is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it practical for stocking in a service van or shop bin for ongoing maintenance and installation work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/4-inch wrench or socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before engagement to avoid cross-threading. Apply appropriate torque per the assembly specification for the application - do not over-torque steel fasteners in tapped aluminum or cast components. De-energize or shut off any system before installing or removing fasteners on energized equipment.
