Value Collection 31246 Hex Nut 10-24 Unc Steel Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31246 is a 10-24 UNC hex nut designed for use with machine screws in light-duty fastening applications. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this nut features a right-hand thread conforming to Unified National Coarse (UNC) standards. It measures 3/8 inches across the flats and 1/8 inches in height, making it a standard fit for 10-24 threaded fastener assemblies. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals use these nuts when securing panels, brackets, junction boxes, and mechanical components with 10-24 machine screws.

This hex nut is suited for residential and light commercial trade applications where a standard UNC-threaded fastener is required. Common use cases include securing sheet metal panels, electrical enclosures, equipment mounting brackets, and similar assemblies. The zinc-plated steel construction provides adequate durability for indoor and protected environments. This nut does not meet military specifications and is intended for general commercial and trade use.
