Value Collection MSC-85724441 Hex Nut 1/2-20 Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-85724441 is a Grade 8 steel hex nut with a 1/2-20 UNF thread size and a zinc yellow dichromate finish. Grade 8 designates a high-strength fastener suitable for demanding mechanical and structural applications where standard hardware would be undersized for the load. The zinc yellow dichromate coating provides corrosion resistance while meeting common industrial finishing requirements. At 0.04 pounds per unit, this is a compact nut with 3/4-inch width across flats and a 7/16-inch height. It is installed by mechanics, millwrights, and tradespeople working on assemblies that require fine-thread, high-tensile fasteners.

This hex nut is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, automotive applications, and structural connections where a fine unified thread and high-strength fastener are specified. The 1/2-20 UNF thread pitch is common in precision and load-bearing fastening scenarios. Right-hand thread direction follows standard installation convention. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making this SKU appropriate for shop stock, fleet maintenance, or production line sourcing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanics or tradespeople using a 3/4-inch wrench or socket. Always verify thread engagement and ensure mating fastener threads are clean and free of damage before tightening. De-energize or lock out any equipment before performing fastener replacement or maintenance per applicable safety standards. Do not substitute a lower-grade nut on assemblies that specify Grade 8 hardware.
