Value Collection C6070 Hex Nut 3/8-16 Grade 2 Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C6070 is a 3/8-16 hex nut machined from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. It features a right-hand thread pattern conforming to the Unified National Coarse (UNC) standard, with a width across flats of 9/16 inches and a height of approximately 0.328 inches. This nut is a general-purpose fastener suited for light- to medium-duty bolted connections. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and other trade professionals working on equipment assemblies, structural brackets, and panel mounting applications where high-strength or military-specification fasteners are not required.

The C6070 is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where standard UNC threading is called out. Typical install scenarios include equipment frame assembly, conduit hangers, bracket attachment, and general mechanical assemblies. This part is sold in multiples of 100 units, making it suitable for shop stock or field kits where 3/8-16 hardware is consumed in volume. It is not rated to military specifications and should be selected accordingly when reviewing fastener requirements for a given application.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard inch-series threaded rod and bolts
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for general-purpose, non-structural fastening
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection in dry and mildly humid environments
• Right-hand thread direction follows standard installation practice
• 9/16-inch width across flats fits standard 9/16-inch open-end, box, or socket wrenches
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units supports bulk stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNC hex nut for use with any standard 3/8-16 threaded fastener in light- to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where Grade 2 steel is an acceptable material specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 9/16-inch wrench or socket. Always ensure the mating bolt or threaded rod is also 3/8-16 UNC before assembly. De-energize or shut off any equipment before servicing fastened assemblies on live systems. Do not substitute Grade 2 hardware in applications that specify Grade 5, Grade 8, or higher-strength fasteners.
