Value Collection 31247 Hex Nut 12-24 Unc Steel Right Hand

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31247 is a 12-24 UNC hex nut designed for use with machine screws in right-hand threaded assemblies. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish, this nut measures 7/16 inches across the flats and stands 5/32 inches high. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose indoor and light-duty applications. Weighing approximately 0.0055 pounds each, the nut is a standard fastener used across a wide range of mechanical and light structural assemblies by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople wherever 12-24 UNC fasteners are specified.

This hex nut is appropriate for use in residential and commercial applications where a standard 12-24 UNC threaded connection is required. Common installation scenarios include panel assembly, equipment mounting, conduit fittings, junction box hardware, and general mechanical assembly. It is suited for indoor environments or protected outdoor locations where exposure to moisture and corrosives is limited. The zinc-plated steel construction makes it compatible with a broad range of machine screws in the 12-24 UNC thread series.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by hand or with a standard hex wrench or nut driver sized for 7/16 inch flats. Ensure the mating screw carries a 12-24 UNC thread specification before installation. De-energize any electrical equipment and shut off fluid systems before performing fastener work on live assemblies. Do not mix thread standards or force mismatched hardware, as this can damage threads and compromise joint integrity.
