Value Collection DNI-10P5-100BX Acorn Nut 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DNI-10P5-100BX is a standard acorn nut designed to provide a finished, dome-shaped cap over exposed fastener threads. Made from Grade 2 steel with a nickel plating finish, this nut protects thread ends from damage and corrosion while giving assemblies a clean, polished appearance. It threads onto a 10-24 UNC right-hand thread and measures 3/8 inch across the flats with an overall height of 9/32 inch. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals use acorn nuts like this in panel fabrication, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies where exposed threads need capping.

This acorn nut is suited for light-duty fastening applications across residential and commercial settings. Common install scenarios include securing covers, guards, and trim panels where a smooth, decorative nut end is preferred over a standard hex nut. The nickel plating makes it a practical choice in environments with mild moisture exposure. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for shop stock, production runs, or maintenance supply programs.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard acorn nut for use with 10-24 UNC right-hand threaded fasteners in general mechanical and fabrication assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading the nut onto a compatible 10-24 UNC male thread, then tightening with a 3/8 inch hex wrench or socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation to prevent cross-threading. Do not overtighten, as the domed cap can deform under excessive torque. No specialized trade licensing is required for standard fastener installation.
