Value Collection 31205 Hex Nut 1/2-13 Grade 5 Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31205 is a 1/2-13 hex nut made from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features a right-hand UNC thread and is used to fasten bolts, studs, and threaded rod in a wide range of mechanical and structural assemblies. The 3/4-inch width across flats accepts a standard 3/4-inch wrench or socket. At 7/16 inches in height, this is a full-height hex nut conforming to standard dimensional practice for 1/2-13 fasteners. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light outdoor use. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades use this fastener daily for equipment mounting, pipe supports, and structural connections.

This hex nut is suited for use in residential and commercial construction, mechanical equipment installation, pipe hanger systems, electrical panel and enclosure mounting, and general fabrication. It mates with any 1/2-13 UNC-threaded bolt or stud. Grade 5 steel provides a good balance of tensile strength and availability for everyday fastening tasks that do not require higher-grade alloy hardware.
