Value Collection 96788 7/8-9 Unc Steel Hex Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 96788 is a 7/8-9 UNC steel hex nut designed for standard fastening applications in mechanical, structural, and industrial assemblies. This right-hand-threaded nut features a 1-5/16-inch across-flats dimension and stands 3/4 inch high, conforming to the UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread standard. The uncoated steel construction provides solid mechanical strength for general-purpose use. It is installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general tradespeople wherever a reliable coarse-thread nut is required.

This hex nut is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings where 7/8-9 UNC threaded fasteners are specified. Typical applications include equipment mounting, structural connections, machinery assembly, and field repair work. The coarse thread pitch makes it well suited for quick assembly and for use in materials prone to cross-threading with finer thread pitches.

Key Features

• 7/8-9 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard threaded rod and bolts
• Right-hand thread direction for conventional installation
• 1-5/16 inches across flats for use with standard hex wrenches and sockets
• 3/4 inch height provides adequate thread engagement for general fastening loads
• Uncoated steel construction suitable for dry and indoor service environments
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or general-use hex nut for any application requiring a 7/8-9 UNC right-hand-threaded coarse nut in steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading onto a compatible 7/8-9 UNC bolt or threaded rod, then torquing to the specification required by the application or applicable structural code. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Use a calibrated torque wrench and the appropriate size socket or open-end wrench to achieve proper clamp load. Do not apply thread-locking compounds unless specified by the equipment manufacturer.
