Value Collection 3RNMS002C Hex Nut 2-56 Grade 655 Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3RNMS002C is a 2-56 threaded hex nut manufactured from Grade 655 brass with a bright, uncoated finish. Designed to ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 standards, this nut features a right-hand UNC thread pattern and measures 3/16 inches across flats with a height of 1/16 inch. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable conductivity characteristics suited for use in electrical enclosures, instrumentation panels, light mechanical assemblies, and similar light-duty fastening applications. Electricians, instrumentation technicians, and mechanical assemblers commonly use this fastener when working with small-gauge machine screws in environments where steel fasteners may corrode or create galvanic compatibility concerns.

This hex nut is suited for use in residential and commercial electrical work, low-voltage control panels, HVAC control boards, instrumentation enclosures, and general small-fastener assemblies. The 2-56 thread size is a standard machine screw size found in compact electrical and electronic hardware. Grade 655 brass offers good machinability and corrosion resistance, making it a common choice where stainless or plated steel is not required. Applications typically involve hand-tightening or light torque with standard small-drive tools.

Key Features

• Grade 655 brass construction for corrosion resistance and good machinability
• 2-56 UNC right-hand thread per ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 standard
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or interfere with conductivity
• 3/16 inches across flats, compatible with standard small hex drivers and wrenches
• 1/16 inch height — compact profile suited for confined fastening locations
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 dimensional standards for consistent fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation hex nut for 2-56 UNC machine screw applications in electrical, instrumentation, and light mechanical assemblies where brass fasteners are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a small hex wrench sized for 3/16 inch across flats. Ensure mating screw thread size and direction match before installation to avoid cross-threading. In electrical enclosures, verify that the brass material is appropriate for the circuit type and environmental rating of the assembly before use. Do not over-torque — brass is a softer material than steel and can strip under excessive load.
