Value Collection 250361 Coupling Nut 5/16-24 Unf Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 250361 is a standard coupling nut designed to join two externally threaded fasteners along a common axis. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this nut measures 7/8 inches overall length with a 7/16 inch width across the flats. The 5/16-24 UNF right-hand thread pattern suits fine-thread applications common in mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment mounting, and general trade work. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals use coupling nuts when extending threaded rod or connecting two threaded studs in tight-clearance installations.

This coupling nut fits standard 5/16-24 UNF threaded rod and fastener applications across residential and light commercial settings. Typical use cases include threaded rod extensions in equipment hangers, vibration isolator assemblies, and structural mounting brackets. The zinc-plated finish makes it suitable for dry or low-moisture indoor environments. The compact 7/8 inch length is appropriate for applications where minimal protrusion is required after joining two threaded members.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF fine-thread specification for precise thread engagement
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard fastener tooling
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose mechanical applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection in indoor environments
• 7/16 inch width across flats accepts standard open-end or box wrenches
• Compact 7/8 inch overall length suits space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard coupling nut for use with 5/16-24 UNF threaded rod and fasteners in general mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing support applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a wrench sized to the 7/16 inch across-flats dimension. Ensure both mating threaded components are clean and free of debris before engagement. Apply thread locker or jam nut if vibration is a concern in the application. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for the specific installation environment.
