Value Collection MSC-67592725 Hex Nut 3/8-16 Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67592725 is a 3/8-16 hex nut machined from brass with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a right-hand thread in the Unified National Coarse (UNC) standard and meets ANSI ASME B18.2.2 dimensional requirements. At 9/16 inches across the flats and 21/64 inches in height, this nut is sized for reliable engagement with standard 3/8-16 threaded fasteners. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, making it suitable for plumbing, electrical, and light mechanical assemblies where steel hardware would be inappropriate.

This nut is used in residential and commercial applications where a 3/8-16 UNC thread is specified. Typical uses include plumbing fixture connections, electrical enclosures, instrumentation panels, and general mechanical assemblies where brass is preferred for its machinability and corrosion resistance. It is installed by plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors as well as maintenance technicians working on equipment that requires non-ferrous fasteners.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread for standard compatibility with 3/8-16 threaded bolts and studs
• Brass construction resists corrosion and galvanic reaction in non-ferrous assemblies
• Bright uncoated finish with 9/16 inches across flats for standard hex wrenching
• Meets ANSI ASME B18.2.2 fastener dimensional standard
• 21/64 inch height provides full thread engagement for the fastener size

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 3/8-16 UNC threaded bolt or stud where a brass hex nut is required per ANSI ASME B18.2.2 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 9/16 inch hex wrench or socket. Brass is a softer material than steel — avoid overtorquing, which can strip threads or deform the nut. Ensure mating fasteners are also brass or a compatible non-ferrous material to prevent galvanic corrosion. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical codes when specifying fastener material in assemblies.
