Value Collection 32232 Hex Nut 5/16-24 Unf Brass 50-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32232 is a 5/16-24 UNF hex nut machined from brass with a right-hand thread. It is used to fasten threaded fasteners and bolts in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies where brass is specified for corrosion resistance or conductivity requirements. The nut measures 0.5 inches across the flats and 17/64 inch in height, conforming to ANSI ASME B18.2.2 dimensional standards. This package contains 50 pieces. Installation is handled by any mechanical or trade technician using standard hand tools.

This hex nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a fine-thread 5/16-24 UNF fastener is required. Typical uses include brass fittings, instrument panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment bracketry, and plumbing fixture assemblies. The brass construction makes it a practical choice in environments where steel hardware is prone to galvanic corrosion or where non-magnetic properties are needed.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF right-hand thread for fine-thread fastener applications
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties
• 0.5 inches across flats for use with standard 1/2-inch wrenches
• 17/64 inch height per ANSI ASME B18.2.2 standard dimensions
• Pack of 50 pieces for service stock or project quantities

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI ASME B18.2.2 hex nut for use with any 5/16-24 UNF threaded fastener or bolt requiring a brass nut.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard open-end or box wrench sized for 0.5 inches across flats. Brass is a softer material than steel — avoid over-torquing, which can strip threads or deform the nut. Ensure mating fastener threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. De-energize or shut off any system before replacing or adding hardware in live electrical or pressurized plumbing assemblies.
