Value Collection 317575PR Hex Nut 5/16-24 Unf Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 317575PR is a 5/16-24 UNF hex nut manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a right-hand thread and measures 0.5 inches across the flats with a height of approximately 0.2656 inches. This is a standard fastener used across a wide range of mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and equipment installations. Licensed trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors use this type of nut as a mating fastener on bolts, studs, and threaded rod in both new construction and service work.

This hex nut is suited for light to moderate load applications where a fine-thread 5/16-24 UNF fastener is specified. The fine thread pitch provides increased thread engagement and better resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it appropriate for mechanical equipment panels, motor mounting, and similar assemblies. The bright uncoated finish is typical for indoor or dry-environment applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary requirement.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF fine thread for improved vibration resistance over coarse-thread equivalents
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for light to moderate load applications
• Right-hand thread direction conforms to standard fastener convention
• 0.5 inch width across flats fits standard 1/2-inch open-end or box wrenches
• Bright uncoated finish for general indoor and dry-environment use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock hex nut for any assembly specifying a 5/16-24 UNF Grade 2 steel right-hand thread nut.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/2-inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Do not use Grade 2 nuts as substitutes in applications requiring higher-grade fasteners such as Grade 5 or Grade 8. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the assembly being serviced.
