Value Collection 763084PR Hex Nut 1/4-28 316 Ss Uncoated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 763084PR is a 1/4-28 UNF hex nut machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It measures 7/16 inches across the flats and 3/16 inches in height, sized for standard 1/4-28 fine-thread fastener applications. The right-hand thread pattern is the industry-standard direction for general assembly work. Grade 316 stainless steel provides elevated corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making this nut well suited for wet, chemical, or marine environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade contractors install this type of hardware in both light commercial and residential applications where corrosion resistance is a priority.

This hex nut is used wherever a 1/4-28 UNF fine-thread fastener requires a mating nut. Typical applications include pipe supports, electrical enclosure assembly, HVAC bracket work, pool and spa equipment mounting, and any fastening scenario in a corrosive or high-moisture environment. The 316 stainless alloy is commonly specified for coastal installations, chemical processing areas, and pool mechanical rooms where chlorine or salt exposure would degrade carbon steel or standard 304 stainless hardware.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 1/4-28 UNF right-hand thread for standard fine-thread fastener compatibility
• 7/16 inch across-flats dimension fits standard 7/16 inch wrench or socket
• 3/16 inch height — low-profile hex nut form factor
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to chip, flake, or contaminate the assembly
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and trade applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 1/4-28 UNF fine-thread fastener. Suitable for stainless steel, steel, or compatible alloy bolts and screws with a 1/4-28 UNF thread form.

Installation Notes

Install using a 7/16 inch open-end wrench, combination wrench, or socket. Hand-tighten first to confirm thread engagement and prevent cross-threading, then torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable code. In corrosive or submerged environments, apply an anti-seize compound compatible with stainless steel before assembly to prevent galling. Do not mix stainless steel nuts with carbon steel fasteners, as galvanic corrosion can occur in wet conditions.
