Value Collection 88NFP Hex Nut 7/8-14 Grade 2 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88NFP is a 7/8-14 unified national fine thread hex nut manufactured from SAE J995 Grade 2 steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It measures 1-5/16 inches across the flats and 3/4 inch in height, with a hardness rating of 68 HRB. The right-hand thread pattern conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.2.2 and UN thread standards, making this a reliable general-purpose fastener for mechanical assemblies. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working in HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial applications will find this nut suited to standard bolted connections requiring a fine-thread specification.

This hex nut is intended for use in applications where a 7/8-14 fine-thread fastener is specified. Fine-thread nuts provide greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse-thread equivalents, which can be advantageous in vibration-prone assemblies or where higher clamping force is needed with reduced torque input. The uncoated bright finish is appropriate for dry or lightly lubricated indoor installations. This part does not meet military specifications and is positioned for commercial and light industrial use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical tradespeople or maintenance technicians using a standard hex wrench or socket sized to 1-5/16 inches across the flats. Always ensure the mating bolt thread specification matches 7/8-14 UN before installation. Power down or de-energize the system and relieve any pressure before servicing any fastened joint. Do not mix thread standards or grades within a fastened assembly.
