Value Collection A996419 Square Nut 3/8-16 Zinc 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996419 is a zinc-finished steel square nut with a 3/8-16 inch thread size and right-hand thread direction. Square nuts provide a larger bearing surface than standard hex nuts, making them well suited for applications where pull-through resistance matters or where a nut must be captured in a channel or slot. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty outdoor use. Each package contains 50 nuts. Thread engagement follows standard inch-series dimensions with a 5/8 inch square width and an overall height of approximately 21/64 inch.

These square nuts are used in general mechanical assembly, structural fastening, light fabrication, and maintenance applications across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general construction trades. They are commonly installed in T-slot tracks, wooden framing connections, and channel strut assemblies where the square profile resists rotation without a wrench on the nut. The 3/8-16 thread size is a widely used coarse-thread inch-series specification found throughout residential and commercial mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 right-hand thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series fastener hardware
• Zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance in general-duty environments
• 5/8 inch square width increases bearing surface and resists pull-through
• 21/64 inch overall height suits standard channel and slot applications
• Steel construction provides reliable mechanical strength for fastening tasks
• Sold in a 50-count package to support production and maintenance needs

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-16 inch-series bolts and threaded rod in general mechanical assembly, channel strut systems, and structural fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Square nuts are typically installed by hand and tightened with a standard open-end or box wrench. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live assemblies. Verify thread engagement depth is sufficient for the load before final torque. Do not substitute square nuts for hex nuts in applications where the fastener seat geometry is critical without confirming fitment.
