Value Collection DN7X00300-050BX M3x0.5 Acorn Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DN7X00300-050BX is an M3x0.5 metric coarse stainless steel acorn nut designed to cap and protect the exposed end of a threaded fastener while providing a finished appearance. Manufactured from Austenitic A2 stainless steel, it meets DIN 1587 standards, making it suitable for applications that require corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency. The nut measures 5.5mm width across flats and 6mm overall height with a right-hand thread direction. It is used by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and assemblers working on equipment where thread-end protection and a clean finish are required.

This acorn nut is appropriate for light-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial settings, including panel assemblies, equipment enclosures, plumbing fixture mounting, and general mechanical assembly. The M3x0.5 metric coarse thread is a common fastener size found in a wide range of trade and OEM equipment. The uncoated finish allows the natural corrosion resistance of the A2 stainless steel to perform without an additional surface treatment, making it a reliable choice for moist or chemically active environments.

Key Features

• M3x0.5 metric coarse right-hand thread for standard compatibility
• A2 Austenitic stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Meets DIN 1587 dimensional standard
• 5.5mm width across flats for use with standard metric wrenches and sockets
• 6mm overall height provides full thread-end coverage
• Uncoated finish — no coating to chip, peel, or contaminate the fastener surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard DIN 1587 metric acorn nut for use with M3x0.5 metric coarse threaded fasteners in general mechanical, electrical, and plumbing assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5.5mm metric wrench or socket. Hand-tighten first to confirm thread engagement before applying tool torque. Do not cross-thread — M3 fasteners are small and threads can be damaged easily if the nut is started at an angle. A2 stainless fasteners may be prone to galling; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound if repeated removal is expected.
