Value Collection MSC-72047491 Hex Nut 1/2-13 Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-72047491 is a 1/2-13 hex nut made from Grade 2 steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish. It features a right-hand thread cut to UNC standards, a width across flats of 7/8 inches (0.875 inches), and a height of 31/64 inches. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited for outdoor, wet, or humid environments. This nut is a standard fastener used by contractors, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople wherever a reliable, corrosion-resistant 1/2-13 hex nut is required.

This hex nut is appropriate for residential and light commercial fastening applications. It is commonly used in structural connections, equipment mounting, pipe hanger assemblies, conduit support systems, and general mechanical assembly work. The hot-dipped galvanized finish makes it well suited for exterior installations, treated lumber contact, and corrosive environments where bare or zinc-plated hardware would degrade prematurely.

Install using a standard 7/8-inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. Ensure mating bolt or stud threads are clean and free of debris before engagement. Do not mix with metric fasteners or non-UNC thread forms. When used in structural or load-bearing applications, follow applicable code requirements such as those in the IBC or ASCE standards for fastener torque and joint design.
