Value Collection 96803 Hex Nut 7/8-14 Unf Grade 5 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 96803 is a 7/8-14 UNF hex nut machined from Grade 5 steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a right-hand thread pattern and measures 1.3125 inches across flats with a height of 0.75 inches. This standard hex nut is used to fasten threaded fastener assemblies across a wide range of mechanical, structural, and trade applications. The Grade 5 designation indicates medium-carbon steel with a minimum proof load appropriate for general-duty fastening where a hardened or higher-grade nut is not specified. Installation requires a standard 1-5/16-inch wrench or socket.

This hex nut suits residential and commercial mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections where a 7/8-14 UNF thread is called out. The fine thread pitch of the UNF standard provides increased thread engagement and resistance to vibration loosening compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it appropriate for applications with cyclic loads or where precise torque control is required. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces.

Key Features

• 7/8-14 UNF fine thread for higher thread engagement and vibration resistance
• Grade 5 steel construction for medium-duty fastening applications
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for dry or protected environments
• Right-hand thread direction per standard UNF convention
• 1-5/16-inch across-flats dimension accepts standard SAE hex tooling
• Minimum order quantity of 25 pieces ensures job-site stock depth

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 7/8-14 UNF externally threaded fastener or stud requiring a Grade 5 hex nut in an uncoated finish.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or trades professional following applicable fastener standards and torque specifications for the assembly. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing fastened connections. Use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve the specified clamp load for the assembly — do not rely on feel alone for structural connections. Inspect threads for damage or contamination before assembly and replace any nut showing deformation or corrosion.
