Value Collection C6067 Hex Nut 5/16-24 Unf Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C6067 is a 5/16-24 UNF hex nut manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It features right-hand threading to the Unified National Fine (UNF) standard, measuring 0.5 inches across flats and 0.2656 inches in height. This nut is a standard fastener used across a wide range of mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical enclosure assemblies where a fine-thread fastening point is required. Installation is performed by mechanics, millwrights, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers as part of general assembly and service work.

This hex nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever a 5/16-24 UNF threaded fastener is specified. It is commonly used in equipment mounting, panel assembly, pipe hanger hardware, and general mechanical fastening. The fine-thread UNF profile provides increased thread engagement per inch compared to coarse-thread UNC fasteners, making it appropriate for applications that benefit from finer adjustment or higher thread friction in vibration-prone environments.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF right-hand thread profile for standard fine-thread fastening
• Steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• 0.5 inches across flats for use with standard 1/2-inch hex wrenches and sockets
• 0.2656 inches height — low-profile form factor for tight clearance assemblies
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any assembly using a 5/16-24 UNF threaded stud or bolt with right-hand thread direction.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/2-inch hex wrench or socket driver. Ensure the mating bolt or stud is also 5/16-24 UNF right-hand thread before installation. De-energize and lock out all electrical, pneumatic, or mechanical energy sources before fastener service on live equipment. Torque to the requirement specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable assembly drawing.
