Value Collection R50000373 High Hex Nut 1/2-20 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000373 is a high hex nut threaded to 1/2-20 UNF specification for right-hand installation in steel fastening applications. High hex nuts offer greater thread engagement than standard hex nuts, providing increased holding strength where vibration, heavy load, or thick material stack-ups require additional nut height. The nut measures 0.75 inches across the flats and 0.6875 inches in height, with an uncoated steel finish. This part is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople as a standard threaded fastener component.

This high hex nut is suited for use in assemblies requiring 1/2-20 UNF right-hand threaded hardware. The UNF thread form is common in applications where fine thread pitch provides superior resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse-thread fasteners. Typical installation scenarios include mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, pipe fitting support structures, and general industrial maintenance work. The uncoated steel construction makes it appropriate for dry or protected indoor environments.

Key Features

• 1/2-20 UNF fine thread form for superior vibration resistance over coarse-thread equivalents
• High hex profile at 0.6875 inches tall for increased thread engagement and holding strength
• 0.75 inches across the flats for standard 3/4-inch wrench fitment
• Right-hand thread direction for standard clockwise tightening
• Uncoated steel construction for general-purpose mechanical fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental fastener for any 1/2-20 UNF right-hand threaded bolt or stud assembly requiring a high hex nut profile.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 3/4-inch wrench or socket. Always ensure the mating bolt or stud thread standard matches 1/2-20 UNF before installation to avoid cross-threading. Power down or de-energize any equipment before performing fastener work on live mechanical assemblies. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the equipment manufacturer or relevant code standards for the specific assembly application.
