Value Collection CPLGI20500X-025BX Coupling Nut 1/2-13 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CPLGI20500X-025BX is a standard coupling nut used to join two threaded rods or extend a bolt in a single straight line. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty outdoor fastening applications. The nut is sized for 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread, carries an overall length (OAL) of 1-1/4 inches, and measures 5/8 inches across the flats. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors use this style of nut when hanging threaded rod assemblies or assembling strut and rod hanger systems.

This coupling nut is a common component in all-thread rod suspension systems used in residential and light commercial construction. Typical applications include suspending HVAC equipment, pipe hangers, electrical conduit supports, and unistrut assemblies from overhead structure. The 1/2-13 UNC thread standard is one of the most widely used coarse-thread sizes in North American trade work, making this nut a staple in service vans and job-site inventories alike. This item is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC right-hand coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard all-thread rod and fasteners
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for general-purpose fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion protection in dry and light-moisture environments
• 1-1/4 inch OAL provides adequate thread engagement for secure rod-to-rod connections
• 5/8 inch width across flats fits standard wrenches and nut drivers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard coupling nut for use with 1/2-13 UNC threaded rod and fasteners in general-purpose trade and construction applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading the nut onto compatible 1/2-13 UNC all-thread rod, then tightening with an appropriately sized wrench or nut driver. Ensure both rods are fully engaged across the nut length before applying final torque. Follow applicable building codes and hanger load ratings when using coupling nuts in suspended-load applications such as pipe or equipment hangers. Inspect threads for damage or cross-threading before installation.
