Value Collection R57500140 Acorn Nut 3/4-10 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57500140 is a standard acorn nut machined from 18-8 stainless steel, designed to cap and protect threaded fastener ends while providing a finished appearance. With a 3/4-10 UNC thread size and right-hand thread direction, this nut is suited for heavy-duty fastening applications where corrosion resistance is required. The 1-1/16 inch width across flats allows seating with a standard open-end or box wrench, and the 1-3/16 inch overall height accommodates typical bolt protrusion without trimming. It ships uncoated, leaving the natural stainless finish exposed. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general trade technicians reach for this hardware when assembling corrosion-sensitive systems.

This acorn nut is appropriate for use in plumbing assemblies, HVAC equipment mounting, pool and water treatment equipment, and any structural or mechanical application where exposed threads need protection and a clean finish. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in humid, wet, or chemically active environments where carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely. It is sold individually and is compatible with any 3/4-10 UNC threaded fastener.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• 3/4-10 UNC right-hand thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series fasteners
• 1-1/16 inch width across flats fits standard open-end and box wrenches
• 1-3/16 inch overall height caps and protects protruding bolt ends
• Uncoated silver finish — no risk of coating delamination in chemical or submerged environments
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 3/4-10 UNC threaded bolt or stud requiring a protective cap end in standard inch-series fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 1-1/16 inch open-end or box wrench. Always confirm thread engagement is clean and free of debris before driving the nut to avoid cross-threading. In structural or pressure-bearing assemblies, consult applicable codes such as ASME or IPC for torque and fastener requirements. Do not use power impact tools without a torque-limiting socket to avoid over-driving or damaging the stainless threads.
