Value Collection MSC-72047483 Heavy Hex Nut 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-72047483 is a heavy hex nut threaded to the 3/8-16 UNC standard, manufactured from steel with a hot dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. The heavy hex profile provides a larger bearing surface and greater wrench engagement compared to a standard hex nut, making it appropriate for high-load structural and mechanical fastening applications. The nut measures 11/16 inches across flats and 23/64 inches in height. Right-hand thread direction is standard for most bolting applications. This fastener is installed by electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general contractors wherever heavy-duty bolted connections are required.

This heavy hex nut is suited for use in structural assemblies, equipment mounting, pipe flange connections, and general mechanical fastening where a larger hex footprint is specified. The hot dipped galvanized coating makes it a practical choice for outdoor, wet, or corrosive environments such as rooftop HVAC installations, outdoor electrical enclosures, and exposed plumbing supports. It is commonly used in both light commercial and residential construction trades.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series threaded fasteners
• Heavy hex profile with 11/16 inches across flats for increased bearing surface and wrench grip
• Hot dipped galvanized steel finish for corrosion resistance in outdoor and wet environments
• Right-hand thread direction, the standard for most bolting applications
• Steel construction provides strength suitable for structural and mechanical load-bearing use

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-16 UNC right-hand threaded bolts, studs, and threaded rod in standard inch-series fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized trade licensing but should follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for the specific application. Ensure mating bolt or stud threads are clean and free of damage before installation. Use an appropriate wrench sized for the 11/16-inch hex. Do not exceed the torque rating specified by the bolted joint design or equipment manufacturer.
