Value Collection 39601 Hex Nut 1/4-20 Grade 8 Zinc Yellow

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 39601 is a Grade 8 steel hex nut with a 1/4-20 UNC thread and a zinc yellow dichromate finish. It is designed for high-strength fastening applications where a standard zinc or plain finish nut would not provide adequate corrosion resistance or clamping load. Grade 8 designates a high-strength classification suitable for structural and mechanical assemblies operating under significant tensile stress. The zinc yellow dichromate coating adds a layer of corrosion protection over the base steel. This nut is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors working on equipment assemblies.

This hex nut is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and trade applications requiring a 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread fastener. It fits standard 1/4-20 threaded bolts and studs conforming to UNC thread standards. The 7/16-inch across-flats dimension matches standard 7/16-inch wrench or socket tooling. Applications include equipment mounting, structural bracketing, and mechanical assemblies where a Grade 8 fastener is specified. Sold in multiples of 100, this nut is intended for production assembly, MRO replenishment, or job-site stock.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for high-strength fastening under elevated tensile loads
• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-series bolts and studs
• Zinc yellow dichromate finish provides corrosion resistance over base steel
• 7/16 inches across flats fits standard 7/16-inch wrench or socket tooling
• 7/32-inch height provides a compact profile suitable for space-constrained installations
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units supports production and bulk MRO use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4-20 UNC right-hand threaded bolts and studs in Grade 8 or lower-grade fastener assemblies. Does not meet military specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a standard 7/16-inch wrench or socket driver. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before installing or removing fasteners in electrical or mechanical assemblies. Apply torque in accordance with the fastener grade and joint design specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer or applicable engineering standards. Do not mix Grade 8 nuts with lower-grade bolts in high-stress joints without verifying compatibility with engineering documentation.
