Value Collection R63081124 Acorn Nut 10-24 Unc 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63081124 is a standard acorn nut machined from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries a 10-24 UNC right-hand thread and measures 3/8 inches across the flats with an overall height of 9/32 inches. The domed cap design covers the end of a threaded fastener, protecting the thread and providing a finished appearance. Grade 18-8 stainless offers solid corrosion resistance in mildly wet or outdoor environments without a plated coating. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general trade installers use acorn nuts wherever a capped fastener end is specified or a cleaner look is required.

This acorn nut suits residential and light commercial applications where a 10-24 UNC threaded stud or bolt requires a protective cap nut. Common install scenarios include panel enclosures, equipment cover plates, conduit fittings, and mechanical assemblies. The uncoated stainless finish keeps surface preparation simple and is suitable for stainless fastener assemblies where galvanic compatibility is a consideration.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance without surface coating
• 10-24 UNC right-hand thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series fasteners
• 3/8 inch width across flats fits a standard 3/8 inch wrench or socket
• 9/32 inch overall height keeps the profile compact on finished assemblies
• Bright, uncoated finish with silver appearance — no coating to chip or flake
• Standard acorn dome covers and protects exposed thread ends

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 10-24 UNC threaded stud, bolt, or rod requiring a cap nut termination in standard inch-series fastener assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install by hand-threading onto the mating 10-24 UNC fastener, then tighten with a 3/8 inch wrench or socket. Do not overtighten, as stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling — use an appropriate anti-seize compound if repeated removal is expected. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation.
