Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 999082 is a 10-24 UNC hex nut manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel. It features a right-hand thread and is designed for fastening applications where corrosion resistance and material strength are required. Grade 316 stainless steel provides elevated resistance to chlorides and harsh environments compared to standard 304-grade fasteners, making it a reliable choice for marine, chemical, food-service, and outdoor installations. Each package contains 50 nuts, suitable for stocking or project use. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working with stainless fasteners will find this nut dimensionally consistent with standard UNC specifications.

This hex nut is used in a wide range of mechanical and structural fastening applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general trade work. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial installations where a corrosion-resistant UNC fastener is required. The 10-24 thread size fits standard 10-24 machine screws and threaded rod. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor environments, including wet or high-humidity locations where mild steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/8-inch open-end wrench, box wrench, or socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before engagement to prevent galling, which is common with stainless steel fasteners. Apply an anti-seize compound rated for stainless steel if repeated disassembly is anticipated. Power down or isolate any equipment before replacing or adding fasteners in energized assemblies.
