Value Collection MSC-67592683 Hex Nut 5/16-18 Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67592683 is a 5/16-18 brass hex nut for general fastening applications across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assemblies. Manufactured to ANSI ASME B18.2.2 standards, this nut features a right-hand thread pattern with a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. The bright, uncoated brass finish provides natural corrosion resistance without added plating. At 0.5 inches across the flats and 17/64 inches in height, it is a standard proportional hex nut suited to threaded rod, bolts, and stud applications in both new construction and service work.

This nut is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical systems wherever a 5/16-18 UNC threaded fastener is required. Common installation scenarios include equipment mounting, bracket assembly, pipe hanger hardware, and electrical panel work. Brass construction makes it a preferred choice in environments where galvanic compatibility with copper or brass fittings is required, and in applications where a non-magnetic, low-sparking fastener material is specified.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread for standard compatibility with inch-series threaded fasteners
• Brass construction offers natural corrosion resistance and galvanic compatibility with copper and brass components
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to delaminate or contaminate threaded connections
• Meets ANSI ASME B18.2.2 fastener standard for dimensional accuracy and load consistency
• 0.5-inch width across flats accepts standard 1/2-inch open-end or box wrench

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC hex nut for use with any inch-series threaded bolt, rod, or stud of matching thread size and pitch in mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 1/2-inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before engagement to avoid cross-threading brass, which is softer than steel. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing fastened assemblies in electrical or HVAC applications. Do not overtorque — brass hex nuts have lower yield strength than steel equivalents and can be damaged by excessive torque.
