Value Collection HNI20370-10LBBX Hex Nut 3/8-16 Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HNI20370-10LBBX is a 3/8-16 hex nut manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a clear zinc finish. It features a right-hand UNC thread and measures 9/16 inches across the flats with a height of approximately 21/64 inches. The clear zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose fastening applications. This nut is a standard hardware component used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, general contractors, and maintenance professionals wherever a 3/8-16 UNC fastener is required.

This hex nut is suited for light- to medium-duty assembly and maintenance tasks in residential and commercial settings. It is appropriate for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, conduit support structures, piping hangers, and general structural fastening where Grade 2 steel meets the load requirements. The UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard 3/8-16 threaded bolts and studs commonly found across trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install and tighten using a 9/16-inch wrench or socket driver appropriate for the assembly. Ensure mating bolt or stud threads are clean and free of debris before engagement. Grade 2 hardware is not rated for high-stress, high-vibration, or safety-critical structural connections — verify load requirements before use. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or IPC when using fasteners in electrical or plumbing system installations.
