Value Collection 250175 Coupling Nut 8-32 Unc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 250175 is a standard coupling nut designed to join two externally threaded fasteners along a common axis. Machined to 8-32 UNC thread specifications with right-hand thread direction, this nut is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. It measures 5/8 inches overall length with a 5/16 inch width across flats. Coupling nuts are commonly used in mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC control panel work, and plumbing fixture installations where threaded rod or stud extension is required. Licensed tradespeople and experienced technicians install these as part of larger fastening systems.

This coupling nut suits light-duty to medium-duty applications requiring a reliable threaded connection between two male-threaded components. At the 8-32 UNC thread size, it is commonly found in control panel assembly, instrument mounting, electrical box work, and equipment fabrication. The zinc plating provides a surface barrier suitable for dry or mildly humid indoor environments. Sold individually, this nut fits standard fastener applications where an 8-32 UNC thread specification is called out on the work order or equipment drawing.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-series fasteners
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for light-to-medium duty use
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• 5/8 inch overall length accommodates standard stud extension tasks
• 5/16 inch width across flats fits common open-end and box wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock coupling nut for applications specifying an 8-32 UNC thread, Grade 2 steel, zinc-plated finish in a 5/8 inch overall length configuration.

Installation Notes

Coupling nuts are installed by hand-threading onto mating male fasteners and then tightening with an appropriately sized wrench. De-energize any electrical systems before working in panels or enclosures where these fasteners are used. Do not use impact tools on small-diameter coupling nuts, as this can strip the threads or crack the nut body. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening within electrical enclosures.
