Value Collection MS35649-2312 Hex Nut 5/16-18 Un Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS35649-2312 is a 5/16-18 UN machine screw hex nut manufactured from steel with a cadmium-plated finish. It features a right-hand thread direction and meets military specifications, making it appropriate for demanding mechanical and structural fastening applications. The nut measures 9/16 inches across the flats and 0.225 inches in height. It is used wherever a standard hex nut is required on 5/16-18 UN threaded fasteners and is specified in defense, aerospace, and general industrial assembly work where military-grade hardware is required.

This hex nut is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and maintenance applications that call for UN-threaded fasteners with military-specification compliance. Its cadmium plating provides corrosion resistance in environments where standard zinc-plated hardware may fall short. Maintenance technicians, industrial assemblers, and military or government contractors working with mil-spec hardware will find this nut fits standard 5/16-18 threaded rod, bolts, and machine screws.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UN thread size with right-hand thread direction
• Steel construction meets military specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit fastener for applications requiring a 5/16-18 UN machine screw hex nut meeting military specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a standard 9/16-inch hex wrench or socket. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the parent assembly documentation rather than applying arbitrary torque values. Cadmium-plated hardware should be handled with appropriate precautions per workplace safety standards, as cadmium is a regulated substance.
