Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 86853512 is a 7/16-14 Grade 8 steel hex nut with a zinc yellow dichromate finish, sold in a pack of 25. Grade 8 steel provides high tensile strength suited for demanding mechanical and structural fastening applications. The zinc yellow dichromate coating delivers corrosion resistance while maintaining electrical conductivity, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations. This nut features a right-hand thread in the UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread standard and measures 11/16 inches across flats with a height of 3/8 inches. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working on HVAC equipment frames, plumbing brackets, electrical enclosures, and structural assemblies will find this nut a dependable fastening component.

These hex nuts are suited for general-purpose mechanical fastening in residential and commercial trade applications. Common uses include securing equipment mounting hardware, support brackets, threaded rod assemblies, and structural connections where a high-strength UNC fastener is required. The 25-piece pack quantity makes it practical for service trucks, job-site kits, and shop stock. The right-hand thread direction is standard for the majority of threaded fastener assemblies encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installation work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand mechanics, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians using standard 11/16-inch combination, box, or socket wrenches. De-energize and lock out all electrical equipment and shut off relevant fluid systems before working on assemblies that involve structural or mounting fasteners. Do not mix Grade 8 nuts with lower-grade bolts or hardware, as mismatched grades can compromise joint integrity. Follow applicable torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer or governing mechanical codes for the assembly being serviced.
