The VALUE COLLECTION 96781 is a 5/16-18 hex nut manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a bright uncoated finish. It features a right-hand, Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form and is sized at 0.5 inches across the flats with a height of 17/64 inches. This fastener is a standard hardware component used wherever a 5/16-18 threaded bolt or stud requires a mating nut.
