Value Collection 88547971 Hex Nut 1/2-13 Grade 5 Zinc 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88547971 is a 1/2-13 UNC hex nut manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features right-hand threading and measures 3/4 inch across the flats with a height of 7/16 inch. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical enclosure applications. Each package contains 25 nuts. This fastener is installed by mechanical and trade professionals wherever a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex nut is required for bolted joint assemblies.

This hex nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving structural assembly, equipment mounting, pipe supports, conduit hangers, and general mechanical fastening. The Grade 5 steel rating indicates a medium-strength carbon steel fastener appropriate for static and moderate load-bearing connections. The zinc-plated finish adds a layer of oxidation resistance for use in dry to mildly humid indoor environments. This nut is sold in a pack of 25, making it practical for service vehicles and shop stock replenishment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical trades using a standard 3/4 inch open-end, box-end, or socket wrench. Ensure the mating bolt thread specification matches 1/2-13 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the equipment or structure manufacturer.
