Value Collection R52001088 Hex Nut 1/4-20 Un Silicon Bronze

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001088 is a 1/4-20 UN hex nut machined from silicon bronze for use with standard machine screws and threaded fastener assemblies. Sized at 7/16 inches across the flats and 3/16 inches high, this nut follows a right-hand thread direction and is supplied with no surface coating. Silicon bronze offers strong corrosion resistance in wet and marine environments while maintaining good machinability and electrical conductivity. The uncoated finish is suitable for applications where plating could introduce dimensional variation or chemical incompatibility. Typically installed by maintenance technicians, electricians, plumbers, or marine service professionals.

This hex nut is suited for residential and commercial fastening applications where corrosion resistance and material compatibility are priorities. Common use cases include marine hardware, plumbing fixtures, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies where steel fasteners would corrode or react with dissimilar materials. The 1/4-20 UN thread standard is widely used across North American equipment and hardware, making this nut a practical fit for a broad range of repair and assembly tasks.

Key Features

• Silicon bronze construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and marine environments
• 1/4-20 UN thread standard for compatibility with common North American machine screws
• Right-hand thread direction follows standard fastener convention
• 7/16 inches across flats for use with standard hex wrenches and sockets
• Uncoated finish avoids dimensional change from plating processes
• 3/16 inches height in a compact profile for tight fastener spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or assembly hex nut for 1/4-20 UN right-hand threaded machine screws in applications requiring silicon bronze material properties.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 7/16-inch hex wrench or socket driver. Ensure mating screw threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Silicon bronze is a softer alloy than steel, so avoid over-torquing, which can damage threads. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical codes when installing fasteners in code-governed assemblies.
