Value Collection MSC-67471045 Hex Nut 1/4-20 Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67471045 is a 1/4-20 UNC hex nut machined from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It features a right-hand thread direction and measures 7/16 inches across the flats with a height of 7/32 inches. This nut is a standard fastener used across mechanical, structural, and trade applications where a reliable threaded connection is required. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors use hex nuts like this daily for equipment mounting, panel assembly, and system installation. The zinc plating provides a protective barrier against oxidation in moderate-exposure environments.

This hex nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving 1/4-20 threaded fastener assemblies. Common use cases include equipment brackets, conduit supports, duct mounting hardware, plumbing fixture anchoring, and general mechanical assembly. The UNC thread standard makes it compatible with the vast majority of inch-series threaded hardware found in trade work. This SKU is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for stocking or project-quantity purchasing.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread for standard inch-series fastener compatibility
• Grade 5 steel construction provides improved tensile strength over Grade 2 hardware
• Zinc-plated finish resists corrosion in dry to moderately humid environments
• 7/16-inch width across flats accepts standard 7/16-inch wrench or socket
• 7/32-inch height suits shallow-clearance fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock hex nut for any 1/4-20 UNC threaded bolt or stud application in mechanical, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or general construction assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/16-inch open-end wrench, combination wrench, or socket. Ensure mating bolt or stud threads are clean and free of debris before threading on the nut. Apply thread-locking compound or a split-lock washer where vibration is a concern. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or IFGC when using fasteners in electrical or gas system assemblies.
