Value Collection 746033PS Heavy Hex Nut 7/16-14 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 746033PS is a heavy hex nut threaded to the 7/16-14 UNC standard, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Heavy hex nuts feature a wider and taller profile than standard hex nuts, providing greater bearing surface and higher torque capacity under load. Grade 316 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, including resistance to chlorides and marine environments, making this nut a reliable choice for demanding service conditions. Right-hand thread direction follows standard convention. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and mechanical contractors commonly use this fastener in structural and equipment assembly applications.

This heavy hex nut is suited for use in residential and commercial installations where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture assembly, marine hardware, chemical processing environments, and coastal or outdoor installations. The 7/16-14 UNC thread size is compatible with standard 7/16-14 threaded rod, bolts, and studs. Its bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for applications where additional plating or coating is not required or desired.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance including chloride and saltwater environments
• Heavy hex profile with 3/4 inch across flats for increased bearing surface and torque capacity
• 7/16-14 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard threaded fasteners
• Bright, uncoated finish — no secondary coating to introduce dimensional variation or galvanic concerns
• Height of 27/64 inch provides a robust nut body suitable for high-load assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with 7/16-14 UNC threaded bolts, studs, and threaded rod in standard fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed mechanical contractors, plumbers, electricians, or pipefitters depending on the application. Use the appropriate wrench for the 3/4 inch across-flats dimension and ensure mating fasteners are also Grade 316 stainless steel or a compatible alloy to avoid galvanic corrosion. Verify thread engagement depth meets project specifications and applicable codes before final torque. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in wet or chemically aggressive environments without appropriate isolation measures.
