Value Collection 763108BR Hex Nut 5/8-18 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 763108BR is a 5/8-18 UNF hex nut machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. This fastener features a right-hand thread and measures 15/16 inches across the flats with a height of approximately 35/64 inches. Grade 316 stainless provides elevated corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making it well suited for wet, chemical, or marine environments. It weighs approximately 0.02 pounds per nut. Installers across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trades reach for 316 SS hardware when the application demands reliable performance in harsh conditions.

This hex nut is used in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy are required. Typical applications include pipe flange connections, equipment mounting, and structural fastening in environments exposed to moisture, chlorides, or mild chemicals. The fine 5/8-18 UNF thread pitch offers better thread engagement and vibration resistance compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it a common choice in precision mechanical and fluid-handling assemblies.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 5/8-18 UNF fine thread for precise thread engagement and vibration resistance
• Right-hand thread, standard orientation for most mechanical assemblies
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to crack, chip, or interfere with thread tolerances
• 15/16-inch width across flats fits standard SAE hex tooling
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and trade applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 5/8-18 UNF right-hand threaded bolt or stud requiring a Grade 316 stainless steel hex nut in commercial or residential mechanical, plumbing, or HVAC fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 15/16-inch hex wrench or socket. Confirm mating bolt or stud is also 5/8-18 UNF and compatible stainless or corrosion-resistant material to prevent galvanic issues. Hand-tighten first to avoid cross-threading, then torque to the fastener specification for the joint design. Consult applicable mechanical or plumbing codes for torque and material requirements in your jurisdiction.
