Value Collection DNI043P5-050BX Acorn Nut 7/16-14 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DNI043P5-050BX is a standard acorn nut designed to provide a finished, dome-shaped cap over exposed bolt threads. Machined from Grade 2 steel with a nickel plating finish, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. The nut features a 7/16-14 UNC right-hand thread and measures 5/8 inches across the flats with an overall height of 11/16 inches. Trade professionals use acorn nuts wherever a clean, protective end cap is needed on a fastener — covering threads to prevent damage, contamination, or contact hazards in assemblies.

This acorn nut is suited for a wide range of light-duty mechanical, plumbing, electrical panel, and HVAC equipment fastening tasks. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a neat thread-end finish is required. The UNC thread form is among the most common in North American mechanical assemblies, making this nut compatible with standard 7/16-14 bolts and studs found across many equipment types and enclosures.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC right-hand thread for broad compatibility with standard North American fasteners
• Nickel plated finish provides corrosion resistance over the steel base material
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose mechanical applications
• 5/8 inch width across flats fits standard hex wrench and socket sizes
• 11/16 inch overall height with dome cap fully covers and protects exposed thread ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use acorn nut for standard 7/16-14 UNC threaded bolts and studs in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading onto a 7/16-14 UNC bolt or stud, then tightening with a 5/8 inch hex wrench or socket. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fasteners on live electrical or HVAC panels. Do not overtighten acorn nuts, as the domed cap can crack or distort under excessive torque. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer specifications and relevant codes such as NEC or IPC for fastener selection in trade applications.
