Value Collection A996417 Square Nuts 1/4-20 Pack of 100

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996417 is a zinc-plated steel square nut with a 1/4-20 thread size, sold in a pack of 100. Square nuts provide a larger bearing surface than standard hex nuts, which helps distribute clamping load across a wider area and reduces the chance of pull-through in softer materials. The steel construction and zinc-plated finish offer basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose fastening applications. These are a practical, volume-friendly option for maintenance shops, contractors, and production environments that need reliable fasteners on hand in quantity.

These square nuts are suited for general mechanical assembly, construction framing, electrical enclosure work, and light industrial fastening where a 1/4-20 thread is specified. The zinc-plated finish makes them appropriate for indoor and sheltered outdoor use. They are commonly installed in T-slot channels, through bolted connections, and applications where the nut needs to resist rotation without a wrench. The 100-piece package quantity supports job-site staging and shop stocking.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 unified coarse thread for broad fastener compatibility
• 7/16 inch square width provides increased bearing surface vs. standard hex nuts
• 7/32 inch overall height — compact profile for space-limited assemblies
• Steel construction delivers solid mechanical strength for general fastening loads
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered use
• 100-piece pack quantity supports efficient shop stocking and job-site staging

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 1/4-20 threaded fastener conforming to inch-system standards. Suitable for general mechanical assembly, T-slot framing systems, electrical enclosures, and construction connections requiring a 1/4-20 square nut.

Installation Notes

Square nuts are typically installed by hand and seated before final torque is applied with an appropriate wrench or socket. Power down or de-energize any equipment before performing fastener work on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Do not mix inch-thread and metric-thread fasteners. Inspect the mating thread and surface for damage before installation to ensure proper seating and clamping load.
