Value Collection DNI0-8P5-100BX Acorn Nut 8-32 Unc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DNI0-8P5-100BX is a standard acorn nut designed to cap exposed bolt and stud ends, providing a finished appearance while protecting threads from damage, corrosion, and contamination. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a nickel plating finish, this nut offers reliable corrosion resistance for general-purpose fastening applications. It features an 8-32 UNC right-hand thread, a 5/16 inch width across flats for standard wrench engagement, and an overall height of 1/4 inch. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers regularly use acorn nuts in panel, enclosure, and equipment assembly work where thread protection and a clean finish are required.

This acorn nut is suited for light-duty fastening applications across residential and commercial trades. The 8-32 UNC thread size is common in electrical enclosures, control panels, junction boxes, and light mechanical assemblies. The nickel plated finish makes it appropriate for indoor environments or applications where mild corrosion resistance is needed. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

Acorn nuts of this type are installed by hand-threading onto a mating 8-32 UNC bolt or stud, then tightening with a standard hex wrench or socket sized for 5/16 inch flats. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before installing fasteners in or around live panels or enclosures, following applicable NEC guidelines. Do not over-tighten, as Grade 2 steel has defined torque limits and the domed cap can deform if excessive force is applied.
