Value Collection CPLGI20430-050BX 7/16-14 Unc Coupling Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CPLGI20430-050BX is a standard coupling nut used to join two externally threaded fasteners along a common axis. Machined from steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this hex coupling nut features a 7/16-14 UNC right-hand thread and measures 1-3/4 inches overall length with a width across flats of 5/8 inches. It carries a Grade 2 material designation, making it appropriate for general-purpose mechanical assembly where high-strength fastening is not required. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use coupling nuts to extend threaded rod, connect anchor bolts, or bridge two studs in panel and frame assemblies.

This coupling nut is suited for light- to medium-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial construction, mechanical rooms, and equipment installations. Typical uses include extending all-thread rod in pipe hanger assemblies, joining conduit support hardware, and connecting threaded components in HVAC equipment mounting. The zinc-plated finish provides a measure of protection in dry or mildly humid indoor environments. The UNC thread form is the standard coarse-thread designation widely used across trade applications in North America.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard coarse-thread fasteners
• 1-3/4 inch overall length provides adequate thread engagement for two mating fasteners
• 5/8 inch width across flats allows installation with standard open-end or box wrenches
• Zinc-plated steel finish offers basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for general-purpose mechanical assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose coupling nut for use with 7/16-14 UNC Grade 2 or equivalent externally threaded fasteners, all-thread rod, and threaded studs in standard coarse-thread applications.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools beyond a standard open-end or box wrench sized to the 5/8 inch width across flats. Ensure mating fasteners share the same 7/16-14 UNC thread specification and thread direction before assembly. De-energize and lock out any equipment before installing or removing fasteners on mechanical or electrical support structures. Do not exceed the load ratings appropriate for Grade 2 steel hardware in structural or safety-critical connections.
