Value Collection 88547948 Hex Nut 5/16-18 Grade 5 Zinc Pack 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88547948 is a 5/16-18 UNC hex nut manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features a right-hand thread pattern and measures 0.5 inches across the flats with a height of 17/64 inches. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose indoor and light outdoor fastening applications. This nut is sold in a package quantity of 100, making it practical for contractors, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who need reliable fasteners in volume. Installation is straightforward using a standard 1/2-inch wrench or socket.

This hex nut is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and equipment maintenance tasks where a 5/16-18 UNC thread is specified. The Grade 5 steel construction meets the tensile strength requirements for medium-duty fastening applications across plumbing supports, electrical enclosure hardware, HVAC equipment mounting, and general structural use. The zinc-plated finish helps resist surface oxidation in dry to moderately humid environments.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/2-inch open-end wrench, box wrench, or socket driver. Hand-tighten before applying final torque to ensure threads engage squarely and avoid cross-threading. De-energize and lock out electrical equipment before performing any fastener work on live panels or enclosures. Do not use this nut in applications requiring military-specification fasteners, as it does not meet military specifications.
