Value Collection 1870 Hex Nut 3/8-24 316 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1870 is a 3/8-24 UNF hex nut machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Grade 316 stainless offers superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making it a reliable choice in wet, marine, and chemically exposed environments. The nut features a right-hand thread and measures 9/16 inches across the flats with a height of 21/64 inches. This fastener is commonly installed by plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and marine service professionals who need a dependable, corrosion-resistant connection in demanding conditions.

This hex nut is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC systems, marine hardware, food-service equipment, and general industrial applications where exposure to moisture, salt, or mild chemicals is a concern. The 3/8-24 UNF fine thread pitch provides strong clamping force and resistance to loosening under vibration, making it appropriate for mechanical assemblies where thread integrity is critical. Minimum order quantity is 25 units.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 9/16 inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. In stainless-to-stainless applications, apply an anti-seize compound to the threads to prevent galling. Power down or depressurize any system before removing or installing fasteners on pressurized lines or mechanical assemblies.
