Value Collection 31204 Hex Nut 7/16-14 Grade 5 Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31204 is a 7/16-14 hex nut manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features a right-hand UNC thread and is sized at 11/64 inches across the flats with a height of 3/8 inches. This fastener is used to secure bolts, studs, and threaded rod assemblies in mechanical, structural, and trade applications. Licensed tradespeople across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general construction routinely stock this nut size for equipment mounting, panel work, and pipe support installations. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and semi-protected environments.

The 31204 hex nut is suited for general-duty fastening applications using 7/16-14 UNC threaded fasteners. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where a Grade 5 steel nut is specified. Typical applications include equipment brackets, support struts, conduit hangers, and mechanical assemblies. This nut is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it practical for bulk stocking in service vans, shop bins, or job site kits.
