Value Collection MP39605 Hex Nut 1/2-13 Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP39605 is a 1/2-13 UNC hex nut manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. Grade 8 steel provides higher tensile strength than Grades 2 and 5, making this nut suitable for high-load fastening applications in mechanical, structural, and equipment assembly work. The zinc yellow dichromate coating adds corrosion resistance and is visually distinct for identification purposes. This nut features a right-hand thread direction and measures 3/4 inches across flats with a height of 7/16 inches. It is sized for use with 1/2-13 UNC threaded fasteners and is a standard choice for trade and industrial assembly tasks.

This hex nut is used across a broad range of commercial and industrial applications where high-strength fastening is required. Typical scenarios include mechanical equipment assembly, structural connections, HVAC equipment mounting, and general trade work requiring a reliable Grade 8 fastener. The zinc yellow dichromate finish helps resist oxidation in moderately demanding environments. This nut is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or trade professional using appropriate hand tools or impact equipment rated for the fastener size. Ensure mating threaded fasteners are also Grade 8 or equivalent to maintain the integrity of the joint. Clean threads before assembly to prevent cross-threading. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant code authority for the application.
