Value Collection 31211 Hex Nut 1/4-28 Unf Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31211 is a 1/4-28 UNF hex nut machined from steel and finished with a zinc-plated coating for corrosion resistance. It features a right-hand thread direction, measures 7/16 inches across the flats, and stands 7/32 inches high. This is a standard fastener used to secure threaded assemblies in mechanical, electrical, and HVAC applications where a fine-thread hex nut is specified. Installation requires a standard wrench sized to the 7/16-inch flat dimension. The zinc-plated finish provides a base level of protection against oxidation in indoor and light-duty environments.

This nut is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications involving fine-thread fastener assemblies. Common install scenarios include panel mounting, bracket attachment, equipment enclosures, and general mechanical assembly work where a 1/4-28 UNF thread specification is called out. It is a general-purpose hardware item handled by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and maintenance personnel working with threaded rod or bolt hardware of the same thread specification.

Key Features

• 1/4-28 UNF fine-thread specification for precise thread engagement
• Right-hand thread direction — standard for most mechanical assemblies
• Steel construction provides strength and durability
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor use
• 7/16-inch across-flats dimension fits standard wrench sizing

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 1/4-28 UNF right-hand threaded bolt, stud, or rod conforming to standard Unified Fine Thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Use a wrench sized to the 7/16-inch flat dimension when torquing this nut onto a mating 1/4-28 UNF fastener. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing threaded connections on electrical enclosures or HVAC components. Do not use this nut as a substitute for hardware calling out a different thread pitch, thread direction, or material specification.
