Value Collection C768010 Hex Nut 9/16-12 Unc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C768010 is a 9/16-12 UNC steel hex nut designed for standard right-hand threaded fastener applications. This hex nut measures 7/8 inches across the flats and 0.496 inches in height, offering a compact profile suited to confined fastening points. Manufactured from steel with an uncoated finish, it provides solid mechanical holding strength for general-purpose assembly and maintenance work. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians reach for this nut when securing structural connections, mechanical assemblies, or equipment mounting hardware that calls for a standard UNC thread form.

This hex nut is appropriate for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications wherever a 9/16-12 UNC thread engagement is required. Typical uses include equipment mounting, pipe support brackets, HVAC frame assemblies, electrical panel hardware, and general mechanical repair. The right-hand thread direction follows standard convention, making it compatible with the vast majority of threaded rod, bolts, and studs used in trade work. The uncoated steel construction is best suited for interior or protected environments where corrosion exposure is minimal.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental hex nut for any application requiring a 9/16-12 UNC right-hand threaded fastener in steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-tightening onto a compatible 9/16-12 UNC threaded bolt or stud, then torquing to specification using a 7/8-inch open-end wrench, box wrench, or socket. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener points on live mechanical or electrical assemblies. Uncoated steel nuts should not be used in wet or corrosive environments without additional protective measures such as thread sealant or corrosion-inhibiting coating.
