Value Collection CPLGI20250-050BX Coupling Nut 1/4-20 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CPLGI20250-050BX is a standard coupling nut used to join two threaded rods or extend the reach of a bolt along a common axis. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this nut features a 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread and measures 7/8 inch overall length with 3/8 inch width across flats. It is a workhorse fastener found in mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture supports, and electrical enclosure hardware. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople keep these on hand for everyday threaded rod and stud extension applications.

This coupling nut is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial trade work. Common applications include joining allthread rod for hanger assemblies, extending threaded studs in equipment mounting brackets, and building up threaded connections where standard hex nuts are insufficient. The 1/4-20 UNC thread pattern is one of the most common Unified National Coarse thread sizes in North American trade work, making this nut broadly useful across disciplines.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard North American fastener tooling
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light-to-medium mechanical loads
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion protection in dry or mildly humid environments
• 7/8 inch overall length allows thread engagement across two mating fasteners
• 3/8 inch width across flats fits standard 3/8-inch wrench or socket
• Compact weight of 0.021 pounds per nut suits high-volume fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 1/4-20 UNC threaded rod, stud, or bolt following the Unified National Coarse thread standard. Suitable as a general-purpose coupling nut in mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/8-inch wrench or socket. Ensure both mating threaded members are clean and free of debris before engaging the nut to avoid cross-threading. Tighten to the torque requirements specified by the equipment manufacturer or the governing assembly standard for the application. For corrosive or outdoor environments, evaluate whether a higher-grade or more corrosion-resistant fastener is appropriate before installation.
