Value Collection 93572 Coupling Nut 3/8-16 Unc 5 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93572 is a standard coupling nut used to join two externally threaded fasteners end to end along a common axis. Machined from 18-8 and 303 stainless steel, this nut provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, and chemical-exposure environments. It carries a 3/8-16 UNC thread form with right-hand thread direction, a 1-1/8 inch overall length, and a 1/2 inch width across flats for wrench engagement. Coupling nuts of this type are standard hardware in mechanical, structural, plumbing, and HVAC assembly work where threaded rod extensions or stud-to-bolt connections are required.

This coupling nut is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening applications across residential and commercial trade work. Common uses include extending all-thread rod, anchoring threaded inserts, and assembling pipe hangers, equipment mounts, and strut channel assemblies. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations in humid mechanical rooms, rooftop equipment platforms, and corrosive service environments. Sold in a pack of 5 units per order quantity.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread form with right-hand thread direction for standard fastener compatibility
• 18-8 and 303 stainless steel construction for corrosion and oxidation resistance
• 1-1/8 inch overall length provides full thread engagement across both joined fasteners
• 1/2 inch width across flats for use with standard open-end or box wrenches
• Pack of 5 units per purchase quantity

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-16 UNC externally threaded fasteners including all-thread rod, bolts, and studs in standard inch-series mechanical and structural assemblies.

Installation Notes

Coupling nuts are installed by hand-threading onto both mating fasteners before tightening with an appropriately sized wrench. Ensure both threaded fasteners share the same thread size and pitch before assembly. Do not mix stainless steel coupling nuts with carbon steel fasteners in environments where galvanic corrosion is a concern. No special tools or certifications are required for standard mechanical assembly, though structural or pressure-rated applications may be subject to applicable codes.
