Value Collection 122632 Stainless Steel Acorn Nut M6x1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 122632 is a stainless steel acorn nut designed for M6x1 metric coarse threaded fastener applications. The domed cap profile covers and protects the exposed end of a bolt or stud, preventing thread damage and contact injury. Manufactured from austenitic A2 stainless steel, this nut offers solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor service environments. It measures 12mm in overall height with a 10mm width across flats and carries no surface coating, leaving the raw stainless finish exposed. It conforms to DIN 1587 dimensional standards. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals working with metric-threaded assemblies will find this nut a straightforward, code-recognized fastener choice.

This acorn nut is suited for use wherever an M6x1 metric coarse thread engagement is required and a finished, capped appearance is preferred. Typical applications include HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture trim hardware, pool equipment enclosures, electrical panel covers, and general industrial assemblies requiring corrosion-resistant fasteners. The A2 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for humid or wet-service environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• M6x1 metric coarse right-hand thread for standard metric fastener compatibility
• A2 austenitic stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• DIN 1587 compliant dimensions ensure interchangeability with metric hardware specifications
• Domed acorn profile covers and protects exposed bolt or stud ends
• Uncoated finish retains natural stainless steel surface — no plating to chip or flake
• 12mm overall height and 10mm width across flats for standard wrench fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 1587 standard acorn nut for M6x1 metric coarse threaded bolts and studs. Compatible with any M6 right-hand threaded fastener assembly requiring a capped nut profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading the nut onto a clean, undamaged M6x1 male thread, then tightening with a 10mm wrench or socket to the torque value specified by the assembly designer or applicable equipment service manual. Inspect threads for damage or contamination before installation, as cross-threading stainless steel fasteners can cause galling. When used in electrical or HVAC enclosures, ensure power is isolated before working on any panel hardware. Follow applicable codes including NEC or IFGC as relevant to the specific installation context.
