Value Collection A996201 Brass Hex Nut 5/8-11 Unc 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996201 is a 5/8-11 UNC brass hex nut with a right-hand thread direction, sold in a pack of 25. The nut measures 15/16 inches across flats and 35/64 inches in height, making it a standard-profile fastener suitable for general mechanical and industrial assembly work. Brass construction offers natural corrosion resistance and moderate strength, making this nut a practical choice where steel may cause galvanic issues or where non-magnetic properties are required. Tradespeople and assembly technicians working on plumbing fittings, electrical enclosures, marine hardware, or light industrial equipment will find this a reliable, shelf-ready fastener option.

This hex nut is suited for use in light to moderate-duty fastening applications across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general maintenance environments. The 5/8-11 UNC thread is a coarse unified national thread, common in American standard fastener assemblies. The right-hand thread direction means it tightens with a standard clockwise turn. The pack quantity of 25 supports service trucks, shop bins, and job-site restocking without requiring bulk purchasing.

Installation Notes

Installation of hex nuts is typically performed by maintenance technicians, plumbers, or electricians as part of a broader mechanical assembly. Always ensure the mating bolt or stud is the same thread specification (5/8-11 UNC, right-hand) before assembly to prevent cross-threading. Use an appropriately sized wrench rather than pliers to avoid deforming the flats on the softer brass material. Do not overtighten brass fasteners, as the material is softer than steel and susceptible to thread stripping under excessive torque.
