Value Collection DNI0-6P5-100BX 6-32 Unc Acorn Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DNI0-6P5-100BX is a standard acorn nut used to cap and protect the end of a threaded fastener while providing a finished appearance. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a nickel plated finish, this nut features a 6-32 UNC right-hand thread. The width across flats measures 5/16 inches, and the overall height is 1/4 inch. The domed cap design covers exposed thread ends, guarding against contamination, corrosion, and incidental contact. It is suited for light to medium-duty fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, and general maintenance work.

This acorn nut is a common hardware item found in residential and light commercial applications. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals use this style of nut when a finished, closed-end fastener is required. Typical uses include panel enclosures, equipment covers, fixture mounting, and any assembly where exposed thread ends need to be capped. The nickel plated finish provides a measure of corrosion resistance suitable for dry and semi-protected environments.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/16 inch hex wrench or nut driver. Ensure the mating fastener thread is clean and free of debris before threading the nut on by hand to avoid cross-threading. De-energize or shut down any equipment before performing fastener work on live panels or mechanical assemblies. Do not exceed the torque limits appropriate for Grade 2 steel hardware.
