Value Collection 319500PR Hex Nut 3/8-24 Unf Grade 2 Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 319500PR is a 3/8-24 UNF hex nut manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features a right-hand thread and measures 9/16 inches across the flats with a height of 0.3281 inches. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for general fastening applications in non-extreme environments. This nut is a standard fastening component used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors wherever a 3/8-24 fine-thread hex nut is required.

This hex nut is suited for general-purpose assembly and maintenance tasks in residential and light commercial settings. Its fine 3/8-24 UNF thread pitch makes it appropriate for applications requiring tighter thread engagement and better resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse-thread equivalents. Typical applications include equipment mounting, panel assembly, and mechanical fastening in trade and service environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF right-hand thread for fine-pitch fastening applications
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard-duty mechanical use
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance
• 9/16 inch width across flats for standard hex wrench or socket compatibility
• 0.3281 inch height for compact installation clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-24 UNF hex nut compatible with any 3/8-24 fine-thread bolt or threaded stud meeting UNF thread standards.

Installation Notes

Install using a 9/16 inch open-end wrench, box wrench, or socket. Ensure mating bolt or stud threads are clean and free of debris before engagement. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 fasteners have lower proof load ratings than Grade 5 or Grade 8 equivalents. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for torque requirements specific to your assembly.
