Value Collection HMSNI20-30-100BX Hex Nut 3-48 Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HMSNI20-30-100BX is a 3-48 UNC hex nut manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a clear zinc finish. This standard fastener provides a corrosion-resistant threaded connection in light- to medium-duty assemblies. The right-hand thread pattern and 3/16-inch across-flats dimension make it compatible with standard 3-48 machine screws and threaded fastener systems. Packaged in quantities of 100, this nut is suited for production runs, repair kits, and bench stock in electrical, mechanical, and general assembly applications. Licensed electricians, panel assemblers, and maintenance technicians commonly use this size in control enclosures and light-gauge component mounting.

This hex nut is used in applications requiring a small-diameter, fine-pitch UNC threaded connection. Its compact 1/16-inch height suits shallow boss or thin-panel installations. The clear zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor or protected environments. Common use cases include control panel assembly, PCB standoff fastening, instrument enclosures, and light fixture hardware. The 100-piece pack quantity supports production workflows and minimizes reorder frequency for high-volume assembly tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a standard hex wrench or nut driver sized for 3/16-inch across flats. De-energize any electrical panel or assembly before fastening hardware in live enclosures. Avoid overtightening, as Grade 2 steel has lower proof load ratings than higher-grade fasteners. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when using fasteners in electrical enclosures.
