Value Collection MP31205 Hex Nut 1/2-13 Grade 5 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP31205 is a 1/2-13 UNC hex nut manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a clear zinc finish. This standard fastener is designed to mate with 1/2-13 unified coarse thread bolts and studs, providing reliable clamping force in mechanical and structural assemblies. The clear zinc coating offers baseline corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. The right-hand thread direction follows standard convention for most fastening applications. At 3/4 inches across the flats and 7/16 inch in height, this nut fits standard 3/4-inch open-end and socket wrenches. Installed by mechanics, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance trades across a wide range of assembly work.

This hex nut is used in residential and commercial construction, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel and enclosure mounting, plumbing fixture installation, and general mechanical maintenance. It is suited for applications where a UNC 1/2-13 fastener is required and where Grade 5 strength meets the load requirements. The clear zinc finish makes it appropriate for dry or mildly humid environments. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools beyond a standard 3/4-inch open-end wrench, combination wrench, or socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Follow applicable torque specifications for the fastener grade and joint material as defined by the relevant engineering standard or equipment manufacturer. Always confirm thread engagement is sufficient before applying full clamping load.
