Value Collection 88525175 Hex Nut 1/4-20 Unc Zinc-plated Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88525175 is a 1/4-20 UNC hex nut made from steel with a zinc-plated finish. It is used to fasten machine screws and bolts in a wide range of mechanical, structural, and trade installations. The nut measures 7/16 inches across the flats and stands 7/32 inches high, conforming to standard UNC thread geometry. Thread direction is right hand, meaning it tightens clockwise. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for dry and lightly exposed environments. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical applications will encounter this fastener type routinely.

This hex nut is suited for general-purpose fastening tasks in residential and light commercial settings. It pairs with 1/4-20 UNC machine screws and threaded rod. Typical applications include equipment panel assembly, component mounting brackets, and mechanical joint connections. It is sold in packages of 25 with a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it practical for both small repairs and larger maintenance inventories.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 7/16 inch wrench or hex socket. Always ensure the mating screw or bolt shares the same 1/4-20 UNC thread specification before assembly. Hand-tighten first to avoid cross-threading, then bring to snug with a wrench. Do not exceed appropriate torque for the application or the base material being fastened.
