Value Collection 32223 Brass Hex Nut 3/8-16 Unc 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32223 is a 3/8-16 UNC brass hex nut intended for general fastening applications across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and light mechanical assemblies. Machined with a right-hand thread pattern, this nut measures 9/16 inches across the flats and 21/64 inches in height. The brass construction resists corrosion and galvanic reaction in environments where steel hardware would be unsuitable. Each package contains 50 nuts, making it a practical choice for service vans, shop stock, or job-site replenishment. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers working with brass fittings, valves, or instrumentation will find this a straightforward stocking fastener.

This nut is suited for residential and light commercial service work wherever a 3/8-16 UNC thread engagement is required. Common install scenarios include securing brass fittings, valve stems, panel hardware, and instrument connections. The right-hand thread direction is the standard convention for the vast majority of mechanical and plumbing connections. The 50-unit pack format supports bulk service calls and minimizes trip-back situations when multiple connections need to be made on a single visit.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading onto a 3/8-16 UNC male fastener and tightening with a standard 9/16 inch wrench or socket. Always de-energize or depressurize the relevant system before replacing or adding fasteners in live service environments. Do not mix brass nuts with incompatible thread standards, as cross-threading will damage the nut and the mating fastener. Follow applicable mechanical or plumbing codes for the specific application.
