Value Collection DNFI062P5-050BX Acorn Nut 5/8-18 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DNFI062P5-050BX is a standard acorn nut machined from Grade 2 steel with a nickel plated finish. Acorn nuts, also called cap nuts, feature a domed top that covers the exposed end of a threaded fastener, protecting threads from damage and contact while providing a finished appearance. This nut carries a 5/8-18 UNF right-hand thread and measures 15/16 inches across the flats with an overall height of 51/64 inches. It weighs approximately 0.1 pounds. The nickel plating adds a layer of corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose indoor and light-duty applications.

This acorn nut is suited for mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture mounting, and electrical enclosure hardware where thread protection and a clean finished appearance are required. The 5/8-18 UNF thread designation indicates a fine thread series, which provides greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse thread and is commonly used in applications requiring precise torque control or vibration resistance. Grade 2 steel is appropriate for standard service loads in non-critical fastening applications.

Key Features

• 5/8-18 UNF right-hand thread for fine-thread applications
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose service loads
• Nickel plated finish for corrosion resistance and clean appearance
• 15/16 inches width across flats for standard wrench fitment
• 51/64 inches overall height with domed cap for thread end protection

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock acorn nut for any assembly using a 5/8-18 UNF right-hand threaded fastener requiring a cap nut.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 15/16-inch open-end or box wrench. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not over-tighten, as Grade 2 steel has defined proof load limits. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the assembly being serviced.
