It features a right-hand thread pattern and measures 11\/16 inches across the flats with a height of 3\/8 inches. The 18-8 stainless steel grade provides solid corrosion resistance, making this nut a reliable choice for general mechanical assemblies, plumbing connections, HVAC equipment mounting, and other trade applications where moisture exposure or mild chemical contact is a concern. Installation is straightforward using a standard wrench or socket sized to the 11\/16-inch flat dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex nut is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where a fine-thread UNF fastener is required. The 7\/16-20 thread designation indicates a 7\/16-inch nominal diameter with 20 threads per inch, consistent with SAE fine-thread standards. Typical install scenarios include equipment mounting, pipe flange assemblies, and structural fastening in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical enclosure work. This nut is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet or outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/16-20 UNF right-hand thread for compatibility with fine-thread fastener assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e11\/16 inches across flats fits standard wrench and socket tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no surface treatment to interfere with thread fit or torque values\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch nut height suitable for standard fastener stack-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard UNF hex nut for use with any 7\/16-20 threaded fastener or stud requiring an 18-8 stainless steel nut with a right-hand thread pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by hand-threading onto a compatible 7\/16-20 UNF male fastener, then tightening with an 11\/16-inch open-end wrench, box wrench, or socket. Always inspect mating threads for damage or contamination before assembly. Do not use power impact tools without proper torque control to avoid thread galling, which is a common issue with stainless steel fasteners. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for final torque requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/16-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright \/ Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 11\/16 inches (0.6875 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.027 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2520\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692518080818,"sku":"2520","price":11527.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cece8e07e4a8d72c3f7e70d85f5630d1.jpg?v=1788298754","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-2520-hex-nut-7-16-20-18-8-stainless-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
