Value Collection 39614 Hex Nut 7/16-20 Grade 8 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 39614 is a 7/16-20 UNF hex nut manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. Grade 8 steel provides high tensile strength suitable for heavy-duty fastening applications where standard hardware-grade nuts would be insufficient. The yellow dichromate coating adds corrosion resistance and is visually distinct from lower-grade zinc-plated hardware, making grade identification easier in the field. The right-hand thread conforms to Unified National Fine (UNF) standards. This nut measures 11/16 inches across the flats and 3/8 inch in height. It is installed by mechanics, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals working with high-strength bolted assemblies.

This hex nut is suited for use in high-load bolted connections across residential and commercial mechanical systems, equipment mounting, structural fastening, and machinery assembly. The fine thread pitch of the 7/16-20 designation provides greater thread engagement and improved resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it appropriate for applications involving dynamic or cyclical loading. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile strength and durability in demanding fastening applications
• 7/16-20 UNF right-hand thread for precise, vibration-resistant engagement
• Zinc yellow dichromate finish provides corrosion resistance and allows quick visual grade identification
• 11/16-inch width across flats for use with standard combination or box-end wrenches
• 3/8-inch height for low-profile bolted assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener compatible with any 7/16-20 UNF threaded bolt or stud requiring a Grade 8 hex nut.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanics, HVAC technicians, or millwrights using a standard wrench sized to 11/16 inches across the flats. Ensure mating bolt or stud is also rated Grade 8 or higher and is free of debris or damage before threading the nut. Do not mix Grade 8 nuts with lower-grade fasteners in the same joint. Follow applicable torque specifications per the equipment manufacturer or relevant fastening standards for the application.
