Value Collection MP39612 5/16-24 Unf Steel Hex Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP39612 is a 5/16-24 UNF hex nut intended for threaded fastener applications across mechanical, industrial, and trade work. Machined from steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish, this nut provides corrosion resistance in standard service environments. It features a right-hand thread direction, a 1/2-inch across-flats dimension, and a 17/64-inch height. The hex profile accepts standard wrench or socket tooling. This nut is a general-purpose fastener used by mechanics, electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance trades wherever a 5/16-24 UNF threaded connection is required.

The MP39612 is suited for residential and light commercial applications requiring a fine-thread hex nut. Fine-thread UNF fasteners are commonly used where higher thread engagement strength or better torque-to-preload performance is needed compared to coarse-thread equivalents. Typical install scenarios include securing mechanical assemblies, mounting brackets, equipment panels, and threaded rod connections. The zinc yellow dichromate coating makes this nut appropriate for indoor and moderately corrosive environments.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF fine thread for higher thread engagement strength
• Right-hand thread direction for standard installation
• Steel construction for reliable mechanical performance
• Zinc yellow dichromate finish for corrosion resistance
• 1/2-inch across flats fits standard hex wrenches and sockets
• 17/64-inch height for compact fastener stack-up

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 5/16-24 UNF right-hand threaded bolt, stud, or threaded rod where a standard steel hex nut is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading the nut onto a compatible 5/16-24 UNF fastener and torquing to specification using an appropriate wrench or socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Do not mix with coarse-thread (UNC) fasteners of similar diameter, as the thread pitches are not interchangeable. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for the specific application.
