Value Collection KP86173 Hex Nut 1/2-20 Grade 8 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP86173 is a Grade 8 steel hex nut with a 1/2-20 UNF thread size and a zinc yellow dichromate finish. Designed for high-strength fastening applications, this nut provides corrosion resistance through its dichromate coating while meeting the mechanical demands of Grade 8 hardware. The right-hand thread pattern is standard for general mechanical and structural assembly. Sold in a package of 50, this nut is suited for maintenance professionals, contractors, and trade technicians who need reliable bulk fastener stock on hand.

This hex nut is appropriate for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections where high-tensile fasteners are required. The 1/2-20 UNF thread designation indicates a fine-thread pattern, which is commonly specified in automotive, industrial, and heavy equipment contexts where vibration resistance and precise thread engagement are priorities. The zinc yellow dichromate finish adds a layer of protection against oxidation in moderate-exposure environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or trade technician familiar with fastener torque requirements for Grade 8 hardware. Always confirm thread engagement and alignment before applying torque. Use an appropriately sized wrench or socket to engage the 3/4 inch flats without rounding. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer specifications and relevant codes when installing structural or load-bearing fasteners.
