Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88548524 is a 7/16-14 UNC hex nut manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. Designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies, this nut features a right-hand thread pattern and measures 11/16 inches across the flats with a height of 3/8 inches. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance suitable for interior and sheltered exterior applications. Sold in a package of 25, this nut is a standard shop-stock item used by mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general tradespeople working with 7/16-14 UNC threaded fasteners.

This hex nut is suited for use in light-to-medium duty bolted connections where Grade 5 strength requirements apply. Typical applications include equipment mounting, bracket assembly, and general mechanical fabrication across residential and light commercial trade work. The 7/16-14 UNC thread size is common in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosure hardware, and plumbing fixture supports. Package quantity of 25 units makes this appropriate for stocking service vans or shop bins where this thread size sees frequent use.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 11/16-inch open-end, box, or combination wrench. Always ensure the mating bolt and nut threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Do not use impact tools at full torque on Grade 5 nuts in applications where torque specifications are critical — consult applicable fastener torque tables for the specific joint design. De-energize and lock out any equipment before performing fastener work on live mechanical or electrical assemblies.
