Value Collection MSC-67471086 Hex Nut 5/16-18 Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67471086 is a 5/16-18 UNC hex nut manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features a right-hand thread pattern and measures 0.5 inches across the flats with a height of 17/64 inches. Designed for general mechanical assembly and fastening applications, this nut meets standard UNC thread specifications and is a workhorse fastener for structural and equipment assembly tasks performed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general contractors. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance in indoor and light-exposure environments.

This hex nut is suited for residential and light commercial construction, equipment fabrication, machinery maintenance, and general trade assembly work. It is commonly used wherever a 5/16-18 UNC threaded bolt or stud requires a mating fastener. Typical applications include structural framing, brackets, mechanical equipment mounting, and HVAC or plumbing support hardware. This nut is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.
