Value Collection 763090BR Hex Nut 3/4-16 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 763090BR is a 3/4-16 UNF hex nut machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Grade 316 stainless provides strong resistance to chlorides and corrosive environments, making this nut a reliable choice in marine, chemical, and outdoor plumbing applications. At 1-1/8 inches across the flats and 41/64 inches in height, it meets standard dimensional requirements for 3/4-16 fine-thread fastener assemblies. Right-hand thread direction is standard, compatible with conventional threaded rod and bolt installations. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals reach for this grade when corrosion resistance is a priority over cost.

This hex nut is suited for residential and commercial installations where moisture, salt air, or chemical exposure would cause carbon steel hardware to fail prematurely. Typical applications include pipe flange assemblies, pump mounting, pool and spa equipment brackets, marine hardware, and food-service or sanitary plumbing connections. The fine 3/4-16 UNF thread pitch allows for precise torque control and reduces the risk of loosening under vibration. Plumbers, pipefitters, and marine service technicians commonly specify 316 stainless fasteners for these environments.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior chloride and corrosion resistance
• 3/4-16 UNF fine thread for precise engagement and vibration resistance
• Right-hand thread direction — standard for conventional bolt and stud installations
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to flake, chip, or introduce galvanic incompatibility
• 1-1/8 inches across flats fits standard 1-1/8 inch wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fastener for any assembly requiring a 3/4-16 UNF hex nut in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or maintenance technicians familiar with stainless fastener handling. When torquing stainless steel nuts, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to prevent galling, which is common with 316 SS thread-on-thread contact. Power down or depressurize any system before replacing fasteners on live plumbing or mechanical assemblies. Consult applicable codes such as IPC or ASME B18.2.2 for torque and fastener specification guidance.
