Value Collection 250218 Coupling Nut 1/4-20 Unc 7/8in Oal

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 250218 is a standard coupling nut manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed to join or extend threaded rod, all-thread, or male-threaded fasteners along a common 1/4-20 UNC axis. At 7/8 inches overall length with a 3/8-inch width across flats, this nut provides a compact, corrosion-resistant connection point in applications where two threaded male ends must be joined end-to-end. The right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC convention. The 18-8 stainless alloy delivers solid resistance to rust and mild chemical exposure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.

This coupling nut is used in light mechanical assemblies, HVAC mounting hardware, plumbing support strut work, electrical enclosure hardware, and general trade fastener applications where a 1/4-20 UNC thread form is required. The 3/8-inch hex profile accepts a standard open-end or combination wrench, allowing installation in tight clearances. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for any trade professional or facilities technician working with 1/4-20 threaded rod or hardware.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-series threaded rod and fasteners
• 7/8-inch overall length provides a compact coupling profile
• 3/8-inch width across flats fits standard open-end or combination wrenches
• ISO 9001:2000 certified manufacturing

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4-20 UNC right-hand threaded rod, all-thread bar, and male-threaded fasteners requiring an in-line coupling connection.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/8-inch open-end or combination wrench. Thread both male fasteners or rod ends fully into the coupling nut and tighten to snug; do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners as galling can occur. Applying an anti-seize compound to the threads before assembly reduces the risk of galling. Ensure both mating threads are the same thread standard (UNC) before assembly.
