Value Collection CPLGI20370X-050BX 3/8-16 Unc Coupling Nut

Product Description

The Value Collection CPLGI20370X-050BX is a standard zinc-plated steel coupling nut sized for 3/8-16 UNC threaded rod and fastener applications. The nut measures 1-1/8 inches overall length with a 9/16-inch width across flats, providing a compact hex profile suited to close-quarters assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor use. Coupling nuts in this configuration are used to join two externally threaded fasteners end-to-end or to extend the effective length of a threaded rod. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians rely on this type of fastener across mechanical, structural, and light fabrication work.

This coupling nut is intended for use wherever a 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread connection is required. Typical applications include HVAC equipment mounting, pipe hanger rod extensions, mechanical support structures, and general assembly tasks in commercial and residential construction. The zinc plating makes it suitable for dry or mildly humid interior environments. At 0.04 pounds per unit, the piece weight is consistent with standard production hardware in this thread class.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series fasteners
• 1-1/8-inch overall length provides full thread engagement when joining two rods or studs
• 9/16-inch width across flats fits standard open-end and box wrenches
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for general-purpose mechanical load requirements
• Zinc-plated finish adds basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard coupling nut for use with 3/8-16 UNC threaded rod, studs, and bolts following Unified National Coarse thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard open-end or box wrench sized for a 9/16-inch hex. Ensure both mating threaded components are clean, undamaged, and free of debris before engagement. Thread both ends to full engagement depth to maintain rated load capacity. Consult applicable mechanical or structural codes for torque and load requirements specific to the assembly.
