Value Collection 113020 Heavy Hex Nut 1/4-20 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 113020 is a heavy hex nut threaded to a 1/4-20 UNC specification and manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The heavy hex profile provides a larger wrench flat and greater bearing surface than a standard hex nut, making it well suited for high-load or high-vibration fastening applications. Grade 316 stainless steel delivers strong resistance to corrosion and chloride exposure, which is a key requirement in marine, coastal, chemical processing, and outdoor plumbing environments. The right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC convention. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general trade contractors install this type of fastener in equipment assemblies, pipe flanges, and structural connections.

This heavy hex nut is commonly used in residential and commercial applications where exposure to moisture, salt air, or mild chemicals demands a corrosion-resistant fastener material. Typical install scenarios include pipe flange bolting, equipment mounting, and structural connections in wet or outdoor settings. The UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with inch-series threaded fasteners and hardware commonly found in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical systems. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chloride resistance
• Heavy hex profile with wider wrench flats and increased bearing surface for high-load joints
• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-series fasteners
• Bright, uncoated finish with no additional plating or coating that could affect dimensional tolerances
• Right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC convention

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4-20 UNC inch-series threaded bolts, studs, and threaded rod in standard heavy hex fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, or general mechanical contractors using standard open-end, box-end, or socket wrenches sized for heavy hex geometry. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the fastener manufacturer or relevant code, such as ASME B18.2.2, for the assembly being serviced. Avoid mixing stainless steel nuts and bolts without proper lubrication to prevent galling during installation. Ensure all threaded components are free of debris and damage before assembly.
