Value Collection 34244 High Hex Nut 1/2-20 Unf 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34244 is a high hex nut threaded to the 1/2-20 UNF standard, manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The taller hex profile compared to a standard hex nut provides additional thread engagement, increasing load-bearing capacity in demanding fastener applications. Right-hand threading follows conventional installation practice. At 3/4 inches across flats and 11/16 inches in height, this nut is sized for use with standard 1/2-inch fastener hardware. Sold in a package of 25 units. Suitable for maintenance, repair, and fabrication work across mechanical and structural trades.

This high hex nut is used in mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and equipment fabrication where increased thread engagement is required. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance appropriate for general indoor or sheltered applications. Meets SAE J995 fastener standard, making it suitable for automotive, industrial, and general mechanical work. Installers in HVAC, plumbing support systems, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general millwright work will find this nut applicable across a range of hardware tasks.

Designed for use with 1/2-20 UNF right-hand threaded bolts, studs, and threaded rod conforming to SAE J995 and standard UNF specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading the nut onto a compatible 1/2-20 UNF fastener, then torquing with a 3/4-inch wrench or socket. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener work in electrical or mechanical enclosures. Do not mix UNF and UNC threaded hardware, as thread forms are not interchangeable. Inspect threads for damage before installation to ensure proper seating and clamping force.
