Value Collection KP80532 Hex Nut 3/8-16 Unc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP80532 is a 3/8-16 UNC hex nut designed for standard threaded fastening applications across a wide range of trade and industrial uses. Machined from steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this nut features a right-hand thread direction and measures 9/16 inches across flats with a height of 21/64 inches. It is sized for use with 3/8-inch diameter, 16-thread-per-inch UNC fasteners and is suited for general mechanical assembly, HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture installation, and electrical enclosure work wherever a standard hex nut is required.

This hex nut is appropriate for both residential and light commercial applications. Technicians and tradespeople will find it useful in everyday maintenance and installation tasks where a reliable UNC-threaded nut is needed. It does not meet military specifications and is intended for standard commercial and trade use rather than high-specification or aerospace fastening requirements.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard fractional threaded fasteners
• Right-hand thread direction for conventional tightening
• Steel construction provides solid mechanical strength for general-duty use
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion protection in dry or mildly exposed environments
• 9/16-inch across-flats dimension fits standard hex wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock hex nut for use with 3/8-16 UNC threaded bolts, studs, and rods in general trade and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

This nut is installed by hand-threading onto a compatible 3/8-16 UNC fastener in the right-hand (clockwise) direction, then tightening with a standard 9/16-inch wrench or socket. De-energize any electrical equipment and shut off relevant systems before performing fastener work in live service panels or equipment enclosures. Do not over-torque, as this may damage threads or the fastener joint.
