Value Collection 3BNFF916C 1-8 Un Silicon Bronze Hex Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3BNFF916C is a 1-8 UN threaded silicon bronze hex nut designed for heavy-duty fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Measuring 1-1/2 inches across the flats and 55/64 inches in height, this full-sized hex nut provides a reliable clamping load on standard 1-inch UN threaded fasteners. The right-hand thread direction follows standard assembly conventions, making it compatible with the vast majority of threaded rod, bolt, and stud installations found in mechanical, plumbing, and marine environments.

Silicon bronze hex nuts are commonly specified in applications exposed to moisture, seawater, or chemically aggressive environments where steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. Typical uses include marine hardware, pump and valve assemblies, waterworks piping, and coastal or offshore construction. Licensed plumbers, mechanical contractors, and marine fabricators frequently use silicon bronze fasteners to maintain corrosion-free connections in wet or saline service conditions. The uncoated finish preserves the natural properties of the alloy without added plating that could compromise conductivity or introduce galvanic incompatibility.

Key Features

• Silicon bronze construction provides excellent corrosion resistance in marine and wet environments
• 1-8 UN thread form for use with standard 1-inch unified national thread fasteners
• Right-hand thread direction follows standard installation practice
• 1-1/2 inch across-flats dimension fits standard hex tooling
• Uncoated finish maintains natural alloy characteristics
• 55/64 inch height provides substantial bearing surface for secure clamping

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1-8 UN right-hand threaded hex nut, suitable for use with any 1-8 UN threaded bolt, stud, or threaded rod conforming to unified national thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand tool or standard hex wrench using a 1-1/2 inch wrench or socket. Ensure mating fastener threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. When combining silicon bronze nuts with dissimilar metals, verify galvanic compatibility to prevent accelerated corrosion at the joint. Follow applicable mechanical or plumbing codes for torque and assembly requirements on the specific application.
