Value Collection 88548490 Hex Nut 1/4-20 Grade 5 Zinc 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88548490 is a 1/4-20 UNC hex nut manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features a right-hand thread, measures 7/16 inches across the flats, and stands 7/32 inches tall. This fastener is sold in a pack of 50 and is suited for general mechanical assembly, structural connections, and equipment fabrication. Grade 5 steel provides reliable tensile strength for mid-duty bolted joints. The zinc plating offers a basic level of corrosion resistance in dry to moderately humid environments. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers install these nuts using standard open-end, box-end, or socket wrenches.

This hex nut is appropriate for a wide range of residential and commercial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel mounting, plumbing fixture installation, and general metal fabrication. The 1/4-20 UNC thread size is one of the most common unified coarse thread profiles in North American trade work. It pairs with any standard 1/4-20 bolt or threaded stud. The pack quantity of 50 supports both job-site stock and single-task use without over-ordering.
