It features a right-hand thread with a 2B fit class, making it a standard general-purpose fastener for use in non-critical structural and mechanical assemblies. The nut measures 11\/16 inches across the flats and 23\/64 inches in height. It conforms to ASME B1.1 and ASME B18.2.2 dimensional standards. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians install these nuts in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications where high-strength or military-specification hardware is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis hex nut is suited for general-purpose bolted connections in residential construction, light fabrication, equipment assembly, and maintenance repair operations. The 3\/8-16 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes found in structural framing hardware, HVAC mounting brackets, plumbing support hangers, and electrical panel components. The uncoated bright finish is appropriate for indoor or protected environments where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC coarse thread, right-hand direction with 2B fit class for standard tolerance assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction with hardness range of 68 HRB to 32 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11\/16 inches across flats for use with standard 11\/16-inch wrenches or sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suited for dry or protected indoor service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B1.1 and ASME B18.2.2 fastener dimensional standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not meet military specifications — intended for commercial-grade applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with any 3\/8-16 UNC-threaded bolt or stud conforming to standard coarse-thread specifications in general-purpose mechanical and structural assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by hand-threading onto a mating 3\/8-16 UNC bolt or stud, then torquing with a standard combination wrench or socket. Always inspect threads for damage or contamination before assembly. Follow applicable torque guidelines per the governing code or engineering specification for the assembly — do not use Grade 2 hardware in applications requiring Grade 5, Grade 8, or higher-strength fasteners. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces; plan fastener inventory accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Fit Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2\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: 23\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 68 HRB - 32 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B1.1, ASME B18.2.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilitary Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: Does not meet military specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.029 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161727\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 302052\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700419002674,"sku":"302052","price":2992.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4dc60e87cf40ad16d45c5b3cfbf71e8c.jpg?v=1788390104","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-302052-hex-nut-3-8-16-grade-2-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
