Value Collection 08FNH Machine Screw Hex Nut 8-36

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 08FNH is a machine screw hex nut designed for use with 8-36 threaded fasteners. Made from steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides corrosion resistance in general-purpose fastening applications. The nut features a right-hand thread with a 2B fit class per ANSI/ASME B18.6.3, making it a standard-compliant choice for mechanical assemblies. At 11/32 inches across the flats and 1/8 inch in height, it is sized for compact installations where space is limited. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use this style of nut when securing machine screws in panels, equipment housings, and light structural connections.

This hex nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving machine screw assemblies. It is commonly used in electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture brackets, and similar trade installations where a standard 8-36 UN thread is specified. The zinc plating makes it appropriate for indoor and moderately protected outdoor environments. It is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 100 units to meet the minimum order quantity requirement.

Key Features

• 8-36 UN right-hand thread matches standard machine screw fasteners
• 2B thread fit class per ANSI/ASME B18.6.3 for consistent, standardized engagement
• Steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• 11/32 inches across flats fits standard hex wrenches and nut drivers
• 1/8 inch height suits low-profile and space-constrained assemblies
• Non-graded material designation appropriate for general-purpose, non-structural fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or general-use hex nut for any assembly specifying an 8-36 UN thread machine screw with a 2B fit class per ANSI/ASME B18.6.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a standard nut driver or hex wrench sized for 11/32 inches across flats. Always ensure the mating screw thread specification matches 8-36 UN before installation to avoid cross-threading. De-energize any electrical equipment and relieve system pressure before working in panels or assemblies where these fasteners are used. Do not use impact tools on machine screw hardware of this size, as it may strip threads or damage the nut.
