This right-hand threaded nut measures 1-1\/2 inches across flats and 55\/64 inches in height, conforming to standard UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread specifications. Constructed from uncoated steel, it delivers solid holding strength in structural and equipment assembly tasks. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals rely on this nut for joining threaded rod, bolts, and fastener assemblies in a wide range of field and shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex nut is suited for residential and commercial mechanical installations where 1-8 UNC thread engagement is required. Common applications include pipe hanger assemblies, equipment mounting, structural fastening, and general maintenance work. The coarse thread pitch makes it well-suited for installations where quick assembly or use in softer base materials is needed. It is typically installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-8 UNC coarse thread for fast engagement and reliable holding force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction per standard UNC convention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inches across flats for use with standard hex wrenches and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e55\/64 inches height providing full thread engagement depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated steel construction for straightforward use in dry or protected installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDoes not meet military specifications — intended for standard commercial applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard UNC replacement or supplemental hex nut compatible with any 1-8 UNC threaded fastener, bolt, or threaded rod in commercial and residential trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by hand-threading onto a matching 1-8 UNC bolt or threaded rod, then tightening with an appropriately sized wrench or socket. Always de-energize, depressurize, or de-load the assembly before replacing or adding fasteners in a live system. Follow applicable codes such as ASME or IFGC where fastener specifications are governed by system type. Do not overtighten, as this can strip threads or induce fastener fatigue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-8 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC (Unified National Coarse)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcross Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 55\/64 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.283 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilitary Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: Does Not Meet Military Specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 96789\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700103545138,"sku":"96789","price":51.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3fd0524edb6e174a22a7a45b031f27a3.jpg?v=1788386050","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-96789-1-8-unc-steel-hex-nut","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
