Value Collection 317275BR Hex Nut 1-8 Unc Grade 2 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 317275BR is a heavy-duty hex nut threaded to a 1-8 UNC specification, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a right-hand thread and measures 1.5 inches across the flats with a height of approximately 0.859 inches. This fastener is used across a wide range of general-purpose mechanical and structural assemblies. It is installed by maintenance technicians, contractors, pipefitters, and general tradespeople wherever a standard coarse-thread hex nut is required for bolted connections.

This hex nut is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications involving structural fastening, equipment mounting, pipe supports, framing hardware, and general mechanical assemblies. The UNC thread form is one of the most widely used standards in North American trade work, making this nut compatible with a broad range of standard Grade 2 hex bolts and threaded rod in 1-8 sizing. It is appropriate for dry or mildly protected indoor environments given its uncoated finish.

Installation Notes

This nut is installed by hand-threading onto a mating 1-8 UNC bolt or threaded rod, then tightened with a standard 1.5-inch open-end or box-end wrench. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Do not use this nut in high-corrosion environments without appropriate protective coating or a corrosion-resistant fastener grade. Follow applicable mechanical codes and engineering specifications for torque requirements on safety-critical connections.
