Value Collection 3BNFF906C Hex Nut 3/8-16 Silicon Bronze

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3BNFF906C is a 3/8-16 hex nut machined from Grade 655 silicon bronze with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a right-hand thread cut to the UNC standard and meets ANSI ASME B18.2.2 dimensional requirements. The nut measures 9/16 inches across the flats and 21/64 inches in height, making it a direct-fit fastener for standard 3/8-16 threaded assemblies. Silicon bronze construction provides strong resistance to corrosion and dezincification, particularly in marine, plumbing, and coastal environments. Plumbers, marine technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals are the typical end users for this hardware.

This hex nut is suited for use in applications where corrosion resistance is critical and ferrous fasteners are not appropriate. Common installation scenarios include marine deck hardware, saltwater piping systems, pump and valve assemblies, and bronze fitting connections. It is also used in architectural and decorative metalwork where bronze aesthetics are required alongside functional corrosion resistance. The UNC thread form and ANSI ASME B18.2.2 compliance make it compatible with standard American threaded rod, bolts, and studs of the same thread designation.

Key Features

• Grade 655 silicon bronze construction resists corrosion in marine and high-moisture environments
• 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread conforms to ANSI ASME B18.2.2 dimensional standard
• 9/16-inch across-flats width fits standard combination and open-end wrenches
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains natural bronze surface without plating
• Lightweight at approximately 0.01 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-16 UNC threaded fasteners, bolts, and threaded rod in assemblies requiring silicon bronze hardware per ANSI ASME B18.2.2.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 9/16-inch open-end, box, or combination wrench. Power down and de-pressurize any system before replacing fasteners on pressurized piping or mechanical assemblies. Do not mix silicon bronze fasteners with incompatible metals in applications where galvanic corrosion is a concern. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes for the jurisdiction when used in piping system assemblies.
