Value Collection DNI050P5-050BX Acorn Nut 1/2-13 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION DNI050P5-050BX is a standard acorn nut manufactured 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 bolt or threaded rod, protecting the thread from damage and preventing contact injuries on exposed fastener ends. This nut carries a 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread and measures 3/4 inches across the flats with a 9/16 inch overall height. The nickel plating provides a layer of corrosion resistance and a clean finished appearance. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working with fastener assemblies in light structural, mechanical, or decorative applications will find this nut a straightforward, reliable choice.

This acorn nut is suited for general-purpose fastening tasks across residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include panel assemblies, equipment enclosures, plumbing fixture hardware, electrical panel trim work, and any installation where a finished, capped fastener end is required. The 1/2-13 UNC thread size is a common inch-series coarse thread found widely in mechanical and structural assemblies. Each package contains 1 nut, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-series coarse-thread fastener systems
• Nickel plated finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance on exposed fastener ends
• Grade 2 steel construction for light-duty to moderate-duty mechanical fastening
• 3/4 inch width across flats suits standard 3/4 inch wrenches and sockets
• Domed cap design protects thread ends and eliminates sharp exposed bolt protrusions
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation acorn nut for any assembly using a 1/2-13 UNC threaded bolt or stud requiring a capped fastener end.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 3/4 inch open-end wrench or socket. Hand-thread the nut fully onto the bolt before applying tool torque to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-torque Grade 2 fasteners, as this grade has lower proof load limits than Grade 5 or Grade 8 hardware. Ensure the mating bolt or stud is clean and free of debris before assembly.
