Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-87920948 is a 1/2-13 UNC hex nut manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features a right-hand thread pattern and measures 0.75 inches across the flats with a height of 0.4375 inches. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose fastening applications. This nut is a standard hardware component used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, pipefitters, and general contractors wherever 1/2-13 UNC threaded fasteners are required. Each unit weighs approximately 0.037 pounds.

This hex nut is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial construction, mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and utility installations. It conforms to UNC thread standards and is not rated to military specifications. It is commonly paired with 1/2-13 hex bolts, carriage bolts, or threaded rod in structural and non-structural applications across trades. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 3/4-inch wrench or socket driver. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening hardware in electrical or HVAC panels. Follow applicable building codes and torque guidelines specified by the equipment or structure manufacturer. Do not use in applications requiring fasteners rated to military or high-strength structural specifications without confirming Grade 2 steel meets the load requirements.
