Value Collection 32291 Heavy Hex Nut 1/4-20 Unc Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32291 is a 1/4-20 UNC heavy hex nut manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features a right-hand thread direction and is designed for use in fastening applications where a wider bearing surface and greater wrenching strength are required compared to a standard hex nut. The nut measures 0.5 inches across flats and 0.2344 inches in height. It weighs approximately 0.01 pounds per unit. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use heavy hex nuts where added torque resistance or a larger contact face is specified by the application.

This heavy hex nut is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical installations, structural fastening, and equipment assembly applications that call for 1/4-20 UNC thread engagement. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and dry-environment use. It is appropriate wherever a standard hex nut is insufficient due to load requirements or bearing-surface specifications. Sold individually but subject to a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• Heavy hex profile provides a larger bearing surface and greater wrenching flats than standard hex nuts
• 1/4-20 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series fastening applications
• Right-hand thread direction for conventional installation with standard tooling
• Steel construction delivers strength and durability for mechanical and structural use
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in dry or indoor environments
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit, practical for high-volume fastening work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for applications requiring a 1/4-20 UNC right-hand heavy hex nut in steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard open-end, box-end, or socket wrench sized for 0.5-inch across-flats engagement. De-energize or isolate any system before introducing fasteners in electrical or mechanical assemblies. Do not use zinc-plated hardware in applications exposed to prolonged moisture, outdoor environments, or chemical contact without confirming finish suitability. Follow applicable code requirements, including NEC or IPC guidelines, when using fasteners in trade-specific assemblies.
