Value Collection 31244 Hex Nut 6-32 Steel Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31244 is a 6-32 UNC hex nut made from steel with a zinc-plated finish. It is a standard fastener used to secure bolts and threaded rods in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, sheet metal work, and general maintenance applications. The right-hand thread conforms to UNC standards, and the 5/16-inch across-flats dimension accommodates a standard 5/16-inch hex driver or wrench. At 0.01 pounds per unit, this nut is suited for low-torque, small-fastener applications common in equipment panels and control enclosures.

This nut is widely used in residential and commercial applications wherever a 6-32 threaded fastener is required. Typical installations include electrical panel assembly, HVAC control board mounting, and light-duty mechanical assembly. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered environments. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance mechanics regularly use this size when working with standard machine screw hardware in enclosures and equipment frames.

Installation Notes

Install with a 5/16-inch hex wrench or nut driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Power down any electrical equipment before installing or removing fasteners in live panels or enclosures. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening components inside electrical enclosures.
