Value Collection 88548557 Hex Nut 5/8-11 Grade 5 Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88548557 is a 5/8-11 UNC hex nut manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features a right-hand thread and measures 15/16 inches across the flats with a height of 35/64 inches. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for general fastening applications in mechanical, structural, and light industrial assembly work. This nut is a standard hardware item installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, pipefitters, and general maintenance professionals wherever a reliable 5/8-11 fastening solution is required.

This hex nut is suited for residential and commercial construction, equipment assembly, and maintenance applications where UNC-threaded fasteners are specified. It is compatible with standard 5/8-11 UNC bolts and threaded rod. The Grade 5 rating indicates medium-strength steel, making it appropriate for general mechanical assemblies that do not require the elevated proof load of Grade 8 hardware. Packaged in a quantity of 13 per package with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 15/16-inch open-end, box-end, or combination wrench. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Do not over-torque; consult applicable fastener torque tables for Grade 5 hardware at the relevant bolt diameter. Follow applicable codes such as AISC standards or equipment manufacturer torque specifications where structural loading is a factor.
