Value Collection 2515 Hex Nut 7/16-14 316 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2515 is a 7/16-14 hex nut machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a right-hand thread cut to UNC standards and measures 11/16 inches across the flats with a 3/8-inch height. Grade 316 stainless provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 series alloys, making it well suited for wet, chemical, or marine environments. This nut is installed by hand and tightened with a standard wrench, and it is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

This hex nut is appropriate for use in plumbing, HVAC, electrical enclosure, pool equipment, and general mechanical assembly applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The UNC thread form makes it compatible with standard unified inch-series fastener assemblies. It is commonly used in outdoor, coastal, or chemically aggressive service environments where carbon steel or zinc-plated fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• 7/16-14 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard unified inch-series bolts and studs
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to chip, flake, or contaminate the joint
• 11/16-inch width across flats fits standard combination and box-end wrenches
• 3/8-inch height provides full thread engagement on standard fastener assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with 7/16-14 UNC threaded bolts, studs, and rods in standard unified inch-series fastener assemblies. Suitable as a direct replacement wherever a 7/16-14 hex nut with Grade 316 stainless material is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized trade certification, but fastener assemblies in plumbing or electrical enclosures should comply with applicable codes such as IPC or NEC where fastener material is specified. Power down or depressurize any system before replacing fasteners on live equipment. Use a properly sized wrench to avoid rounding the hex flats. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in electrolyte-exposed environments without appropriate isolation to prevent galvanic corrosion.
