Value Collection c52000571 Hex Nut 1/2-13 Brass Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION c52000571 is a 1/2-13 brass hex nut intended for general mechanical and plumbing fastening applications. Manufactured to ANSI ASME B18.2.2 standards, this nut features a right-hand UNC thread and an uncoated bright finish. The 3/4-inch across-flats dimension allows installation with standard hex wrenches and sockets. Brass construction provides natural corrosion resistance and makes this nut well suited for environments where galvanic compatibility with brass or copper fittings is a priority. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on plumbing, HVAC, or general mechanical assemblies will find this a reliable fastener choice.

This hex nut is used in residential and light commercial applications where a 1/2-13 UNC thread engagement is required. Common scenarios include pipe flange connections, equipment mounting, and valve assembly work. The bright uncoated brass finish is appropriate for indoor or protected installations where aesthetic consistency with other brass hardware is desired. It ships individually but is available in multiples, making it practical for service vans and shop stock.

Key Features

• Brass construction offers inherent corrosion resistance and galvanic compatibility with copper and brass components

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC hex nut for use with any 1/2-13 threaded fastener, stud, or bolt where brass material and ANSI ASME B18.2.2 dimensional compliance are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with fastener torque requirements for the specific application and material being joined. Always ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Do not use brass fasteners in applications subject to high stress or impact loading without verifying the material rating for that application. Refer to applicable mechanical codes for torque and assembly requirements.
