Value Collection 5307 Hex Nut 5/16-24 18-8 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5307 is a 5/16-24 UNF hex nut machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a right-hand thread pattern and measures 0.5 inches across the flats with a height of approximately 17/64 inches. The 18-8 stainless alloy provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and mildly corrosive environments without the need for additional plating or coating. This fastener is suited for use by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals who need a reliable, code-appropriate stainless nut for equipment assembly, panel work, or mechanical connections.

This hex nut is appropriate for a wide range of light-duty to medium-duty fastening applications across residential and commercial trade work. Typical uses include securing equipment panels, mounting brackets, pipe supports, conduit fittings, and similar assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. The UNF fine-thread profile provides stronger clamping force in thin-wall or vibration-prone applications compared to coarse-thread equivalents. These nuts are sold in minimum quantities of 100 units, making them practical for service vans and shop stock.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor service environments
• 5/16-24 UNF fine-thread profile for secure clamping and vibration resistance
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard fastener tooling
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy without added plating thickness
• 0.5-inch width across flats fits standard 1/2-inch wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF hex nut for use with any 5/16-24 threaded bolt, stud, or threaded rod requiring an 18-8 stainless steel mating fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 1/2-inch wrench or socket. Always verify thread engagement and avoid cross-threading before applying torque. In stainless-to-stainless assemblies, apply an anti-seize compound to the threads to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes when using fasteners in structural or code-governed assemblies.
