Value Collection MSC-52465887 Hex Nut 1/2-13 Galvanized

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-52465887 is a 1/2-13 heavy hex nut manufactured to ASTM A194 Grade 2H specifications. It is designed for high-strength bolted assemblies where elevated clamping loads or pressure-containing joints demand a reliable, load-rated fastener. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor, wet, or mildly corrosive environments. With a width across flats of 7/8 inches and a height of approximately 31/64 inches, this nut mates with standard 1/2-13 UNC threaded rod, bolts, or studs. Plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and structural mechanics rely on A194 Grade 2H nuts in flanged connections, conduit supports, pipe hangers, and structural steel applications.

This hex nut is suited for use in both residential and commercial construction and mechanical installations. Common applications include bolted flange assemblies, equipment mounting, structural connections, and pipe support systems. The right-hand UNC thread matches standard 1/2-13 fasteners widely used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for interior and exterior installations where mild moisture exposure is expected.

Key Features

• A194 Grade 2H steel construction rated for high-strength and pressure-containing bolted joints
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard threaded fasteners
• 7/8-inch width across flats for use with standard hex wrenches and sockets
• 31/64-inch height provides full thread engagement on standard bolt lengths

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-13 UNC threaded bolts, studs, and threaded rod in standard bolted assemblies across mechanical, structural, and utility piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople using standard combination wrenches or impact sockets rated for the fastener size. Always de-energize or depressurize any system before servicing bolted connections. Torque fasteners according to the project engineer's specifications or the applicable code requirement for the joint type. Do not mix galvanized and non-galvanized hardware in the same assembly without confirming galvanic compatibility.
