The nut features right-hand threading to the Unified National Coarse (UNC) standard and measures 0.3438 inches (11\/32 inches) across the flats with a height of 1\/8 inch. It is a general-purpose fastener used across a wide range of light mechanical assembly, electrical enclosure, and equipment mounting applications. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers commonly use this nut when fastening panels, brackets, and terminal hardware secured with 8-32 machine screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex nut is suited for residential and commercial applications where a standard UNC 8-32 fastener is required. Typical install scenarios include control panel assembly, electrical box mounting, light-gauge sheet metal fabrication, and equipment rack hardware. The zinc-plated finish provides a moderate level of protection in dry indoor environments. This part is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for stocking in shop inventory or for use in production assembly workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e8-32 UNC thread size with right-hand thread direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in dry environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e11\/32 inch (0.3438 inches) width across flats for standard hex wrench or nut driver use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8 inch height — low-profile for space-constrained assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with 8-32 fastener hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDoes not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and light industrial use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with any standard 8-32 UNC machine screw in light mechanical, electrical, and HVAC panel assembly applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a standard 11\/32 inch hex wrench, nut driver, or socket. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening hardware inside control enclosures or panels, following applicable NEC guidelines. Do not overtighten on light-gauge materials, as steel hex nuts can strip or deform thinner substrates. Inspect threads for damage before installation to ensure proper engagement and secure hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8-32\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Across Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3438 inches (11\/32 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\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\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 31245\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715043131698,"sku":"31245","price":379.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/12a032bf3e51f0579370ca488f3e1ea5.jpg?v=1788509198","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-31245-hex-nut-8-32-steel-zinc-plated","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
