Value Collection 111212 Heavy Hex Nut 3/8-16 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 111212 is a heavy hex nut threaded to 3/8-16 UNC specifications and manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Heavy hex nuts feature a wider across-flats dimension than standard hex nuts, providing greater bearing surface and added resistance to loosening under load. Grade 316 stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making this nut well suited for wet, chemical, or marine environments. The right-hand thread conforms to Unified National Coarse standards. This fastener is used by plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors wherever a corrosion-resistant heavy hex nut is required.

This heavy hex nut is appropriate for residential and commercial applications involving corrosive environments such as coastal installations, chemical processing areas, pool and spa mechanical rooms, and marine structures. The 3/8-16 UNC thread size is one of the most common inch-series thread standards, making this nut compatible with a wide range of standard 3/8-16 threaded bolts, studs, and rods used across plumbing, HVAC, and electrical support work. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Heavy hex profile with 11/16 inch across-flats dimension for increased bearing surface and wrench grip
• 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread conforms to standard Unified National Coarse specifications
• Bright, uncoated finish with no added plating or coating that could flake or react with process fluids
• Height of 23/64 inch provides a compact profile while maintaining full thread engagement depth

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 3/8-16 UNC threaded fastener, bolt, stud, or rod requiring a heavy hex nut in corrosion-resistant Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using an appropriately sized wrench or socket. Always ensure the mating bolt or stud is also rated for the environment and load requirements of the application. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in highly conductive or submerged environments without accounting for galvanic corrosion potential. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for fastener torque and installation requirements.
