Value Collection 4486 Stainless Steel Hex Nut 7/8-9 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4486 is a 7/8-9 UNC stainless steel hex nut intended for general fastening applications in trade and industrial environments. It features a right-hand thread direction and is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. The nut measures 1-5/16 inches across the flats and 3/4 inch in height, conforming to standard UNC hex nut geometry. The bright, uncoated finish leaves the base stainless steel surface exposed. Plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and general contractors use hex nuts of this specification to secure threaded fastener assemblies across a wide range of structural and mechanical connections.

This 7/8-9 UNC hex nut is appropriate for use in residential and commercial construction, mechanical equipment mounting, pipe support hardware, and general structural fastening where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. The UNC thread standard is widely used in North American trade applications. The 18-8 stainless steel grade performs well in mildly corrosive environments including those exposed to moisture, humidity, and many common chemicals encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installations.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• 7/8-9 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard North American threaded fasteners
• 1-5/16 inch width across flats for use with standard hex wrench and socket tooling
• 3/4 inch height providing full thread engagement depth for this bolt diameter
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating or coating that could compromise stainless steel properties

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex nut for use with 7/8-9 threaded bolts, studs, and rods conforming to unified coarse thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-tightening and then advancing with a standard wrench or socket sized for 1-5/16 inch across flats. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before performing fastener work on mechanical or electrical assemblies. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in environments where galvanic corrosion is a concern. Apply anti-seize compound when appropriate to prevent galling, which is common with stainless steel threaded fasteners under high torque.
