Value Collection KP76127 Heavy Hex Nut 1/4-20 316 Ss 25-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP76127 is a heavy hex nut in Grade 316 stainless steel, designed for 1/4-20 UNC threaded fastener applications. The bright, uncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel, making this nut well-suited for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or marine conditions. At 0.5 inches across the flats and a height of approximately 0.234 inches (15/64 inches), the heavy hex profile provides greater bearing surface than a standard hex nut. Sold in a package quantity of 25 with a minimum order quantity of 1.

This heavy hex nut is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and pool equipment installations where corrosion resistance is a priority. Grade 316 stainless steel is commonly specified in coastal, chemical, or wet environments where standard carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely. Typical applications include pipe flange assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections that require a right-hand threaded 1/4-20 fastener with a heavy hex profile.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Heavy hex profile provides increased bearing surface compared to standard hex nuts
• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread standard for broad compatibility with common fastener stock
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and natural stainless properties
• Sold in 25-piece packages with no case-quantity requirement

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4-20 UNC right-hand threaded bolts, studs, and threaded rod in applications requiring Grade 316 stainless steel heavy hex fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a standard 1/2-inch wrench or socket. Follow applicable mechanical or plumbing code torque guidelines for the connected assembly. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in contact to prevent galvanic corrosion. Do not use impact tools at high torque settings, as over-torquing can gall stainless steel threads.
