Value Collection 39603 Hex Nut 3/8-16 Grade 8 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 39603 is a 3/8-16 hex nut manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. Grade 8 steel provides high tensile strength suitable for demanding fastening applications in mechanical, structural, and industrial assemblies. The zinc yellow dichromate coating adds corrosion resistance while meeting common identification standards for high-strength hardware. This nut features a right-hand thread and a 9/16-inch width across flats, conforming to UNC thread standards. It is installed by mechanics, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and general contractors wherever a high-strength threaded fastener is required.

This hex nut is suited for use in equipment assemblies, structural connections, and mechanical systems requiring a reliable UNC 3/8-16 threaded fastener. The Grade 8 rating makes it appropriate for high-load applications including machinery mounts, frame assemblies, and equipment brackets in both residential and commercial settings. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.
