Value Collection 250086 Coupling Nut 1/2-13 Unc Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 250086 is a standard coupling nut used to join two externally threaded fasteners along a common axis. Made from steel with a zinc-plated finish, this nut provides corrosion resistance suitable for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. It features a 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread and measures 1-3/4 inches overall length with 11/16 inches across the flats. Coupling nuts of this type are installed by licensed tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and experienced installers wherever threaded rod extensions, anchor bolt connections, or stud splicing are required.

This coupling nut is suited for use in light commercial and residential construction, mechanical systems assembly, and general industrial maintenance. Typical applications include extending threaded rod runs, connecting all-thread rod sections, and anchoring structural components. The zinc-plated finish makes it appropriate for indoor and moderately corrosive environments. Material Grade 2 designates a low-carbon steel construction commonly used in standard-duty fastening scenarios.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread size with right-hand thread direction for standard fastening compatibility
• 1-3/4 inches overall length (OAL) provides adequate thread engagement for rod splicing
• 11/16 inches width across flats for use with standard open-end or box wrenches
• Zinc-plated steel finish offers basic corrosion protection for general-purpose use
• Material Grade 2 low-carbon steel construction for standard-duty mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-duty replacement or service coupling nut compatible with 1/2-13 UNC right-hand threaded rod, studs, and bolts in general mechanical and construction assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, contractors, or licensed tradespeople using standard hand tools sized to 11/16 inches across the flats. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before engagement. Apply thread engagement of at least one full nut length on each side for proper load transfer. Follow applicable structural or mechanical codes for torque requirements based on the specific assembly.
