Value Collection 3TNC904C Acorn Nut 1/4-20 Unc 316 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TNC904C is a standard acorn nut threaded to 1/4-20 UNC with a right-hand thread direction. It measures 7/16 inches across the flats and 15/32 inches in overall height. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this nut provides strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments including wet, chemical-exposed, and marine applications. The uncoated silver finish is the natural result of the stainless material. It is suited for use by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals who need a reliable, corrosion-resistant fastener for exposed or high-moisture installations.

This acorn nut is appropriate for residential and commercial applications wherever a closed-end nut is needed to cap a bolt end, protect threads, or provide a finished appearance. Common install scenarios include panel enclosures, pipe hangers, equipment mounting hardware, and exterior or corrosive-environment assemblies. The 1/4-20 UNC thread standard ensures wide compatibility with standard fractional fastener hardware used across multiple trades.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC acorn nut for use with any 1/4-20 threaded bolt or stud in residential or commercial trade applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading onto a compatible 1/4-20 bolt or stud, then tightening with a 7/16 inch wrench or socket. De-energize or shut off any associated system before working in panel enclosures or live equipment areas per applicable NEC or local code requirements. Avoid cross-threading by starting the nut by hand before applying tool torque. Grade 316 stainless is non-magnetic and may gall if over-torqued against stainless fasteners — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when mating stainless to stainless.
