Value Collection 86853181 Hex Nut 1/4-20 Grade 8 Steel 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 86853181 is a Grade 8 steel hex nut with a 1/4-20 UNC thread size and a zinc yellow dichromate finish. Grade 8 steel provides high tensile strength, making this nut suitable for demanding fastener applications where standard hardware grades are insufficient. The zinc yellow dichromate coating delivers corrosion resistance in environments subject to moisture or mild chemical exposure. At 7/16 inches across the flats and 7/32 inches in height, this nut meets standard dimensional requirements for 1/4-20 hardware assemblies. Sold in a package quantity of 50, it is well suited for contractors, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who require consistent hardware in volume.

This hex nut is used in general mechanical and structural fastening applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and industrial maintenance trades. It is appropriate for both new installations and repair work where a high-strength, corrosion-resistant 1/4-20 fastener is required. The right-hand thread conforms to standard UNC thread conventions, ensuring compatibility with standard 1/4-20 threaded rod, bolts, and studs found in typical trade applications. This nut is commonly used in equipment mounting, panel assembly, pipe support hardware, and general mechanical connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading onto a compatible 1/4-20 UNC bolt or threaded rod, then torquing to specification using a 7/16-inch wrench or socket. Always ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not mix hardware grades in structural or load-bearing assemblies. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for the specific application.
