Value Collection HMSNI20-50-100BX Hex Nut 5-40 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HMSNI20-50-100BX is a Grade 2 steel hex nut with a clear zinc finish, designed for use with 5-40 UNC threaded fasteners. This is a standard right-hand thread nut used to secure bolts, screws, and threaded rod in light-duty mechanical and structural assemblies. The clear zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-exposure applications. Measuring 5/16 inches across flats and 7/64 inches in height, this nut fits standard 5-40 tooling. Sold in a package quantity of 100, it is suited for production environments, MRO stock, and shop supply replenishment where consistent fastener availability is essential.

This hex nut is commonly used in light mechanical assemblies, enclosure hardware, electronics mounting, and general fabrication where a 5-40 UNC thread pattern is specified. The Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose fastener requirements for non-critical load applications. The 100-piece packaging supports production line use, service van restocking, and bench-stock replenishment across electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or nut driver sized for 5/16 inch across flats. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten on thin or soft base materials, as Grade 2 steel has lower proof load ratings than higher-grade fasteners. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical code requirements when used in code-governed assemblies.
