Value Collection 114579 Acorn Nut 3/8-16 Unc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 114579 is a Grade 2 steel acorn nut with a nickel plated finish, designed for standard threaded fastener applications. It features a 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread and measures 5/8 inches across the flats with an overall height of 27/64 inches. The domed cap covers the exposed end of a threaded fastener, protecting the thread and providing a finished appearance. This nut is suited for general mechanical assembly work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light industrial applications where a capped fastener end is required.

This acorn nut is used in residential and light commercial assembly applications where thread protection and a clean finished look are needed. The nickel plating provides a degree of corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for both indoor and moderately protected outdoor installations. Mechanics, contractors, and maintenance technicians commonly use this fastener when securing panels, covers, and equipment housings that require a smooth, capped bolt end.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-series fastener systems
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for general-purpose mechanical assembly
• Nickel plated finish offers corrosion resistance and a clean appearance
• Domed cap design covers and protects exposed thread ends
• 5/8 inch width across flats fits standard 5/8 inch wrenches and sockets
• 27/64 inch overall height suits applications with limited fastener clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation acorn nut for 3/8-16 UNC threaded bolts and studs in general mechanical and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 5/8 inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. Ensure the mating bolt or stud is clean and free of damage before threading the nut. Apply consistent torque without over-tightening, as Grade 2 fasteners have lower proof load ratings than higher-grade hardware. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical or mechanical assemblies.
