Value Collection 444014BR Hex Nut 5/8-11 Grade L9 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 444014BR is a 5/8-11 UNC hex nut machined from Grade L9 steel and finished with a zinc yellow dichromate, cadmium, and wax coating. Grade L9 designates a high-strength, prevailing-torque locking nut rated for demanding fastener applications. The zinc yellow dichromate and cadmium finish provides corrosion resistance and improves adhesion of the wax coating, which aids installation torque control. The right-hand thread follows standard UNC practice. Width across flats measures 15/16 inches and height measures 35/64 inches. This nut is suited for assembly work in industrial, mechanical, and construction applications where high-strength fasteners are required.

This hex nut is used in bolted joint assemblies requiring a high-strength 5/8-11 UNC fastener. Typical applications include structural steel connections, heavy equipment assembly, and industrial machinery maintenance. The waxed finish reduces galling during installation and helps achieve consistent clamp load. Installed by millwrights, ironworkers, maintenance mechanics, and general contractors working with standard UNC fastener systems. Sold individually per unit with a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade L9 steel construction for high-strength fastener applications
• 5/8-11 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard UNC bolt systems
• Zinc yellow dichromate and cadmium finish for corrosion resistance
• Waxed coating to reduce installation torque and minimize galling
• Width across flats of 15/16 inches fits standard hex drive tooling
• Height of 35/64 inches for compact engagement depth

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or assembly hex nut for bolted connections using 5/8-11 UNC grade fasteners in industrial and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or ironworker familiar with UNC fastener systems. Ensure the mating bolt thread is clean and free of debris before assembly. Use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the applicable joint specification or engineering requirement for the target clamp load. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the fastener assembly.
