Value Collection 317600PR Hex Nut 3/8-24 Unf Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 317600PR is a 3/8-24 UNF hex nut manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a right-hand thread and measures 9/16 inches across the flats with a height of 0.328 inches. This standard fastener is used to secure threaded assemblies in mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and general trade applications. The uncoated finish is appropriate for indoor or dry environments where corrosion resistance is not a primary requirement. Installation and assembly technicians across multiple trades routinely use this nut as a general-purpose fastener in light-to-medium duty connections.

This hex nut suits residential and commercial applications where a 3/8-24 UNF thread pattern is specified. It is commonly used in equipment mounting, structural bracketing, and component assembly tasks encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work. The fine thread pitch of the UNF standard provides better holding strength and vibration resistance compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it well suited for applications where fastener loosening under vibration is a concern. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine thread for improved vibration resistance over coarse-thread equivalents
• Grade 2 steel construction for light-to-medium duty fastening applications
• Right-hand thread direction — standard installation direction
• 9/16-inch width across flats for use with standard hex wrenches and sockets
• Bright, uncoated finish — no additional surface treatment
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for general commercial and trade use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-24 UNF hex nut for use with any 3/8-24 UNF threaded fastener or stud in general mechanical and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 9/16-inch hex wrench or socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Do not exceed the torque rating appropriate for Grade 2 steel fasteners as specified by applicable mechanical standards. This nut is not rated for high-temperature, high-corrosion, or military-specification applications.
