Value Collection R63081160 Acorn Nut 1/4-20 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63081160 is a stainless steel acorn nut designed to provide a finished, dome-shaped cap over the end of a threaded fastener. It accepts a 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread and measures 7/16 inches across the flats with an overall height of 21/64 inches. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel, this nut offers solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications. The uncoated silver finish leaves the base material exposed, making it suitable where a clean metal appearance is required or where coating adhesion to the fastener is a concern. Tradespeople and assembly technicians use this nut wherever thread-end protection and aesthetics matter.

This acorn nut is used across a wide range of trade and light industrial applications, including HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture assemblies, electrical enclosures, and pool equipment hardware. It is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a capped, finished fastener appearance is specified. The 1/4-20 UNC thread standard is one of the most common fastener sizes in North American trade work, making this nut a practical stock item for service vans and shop inventory alike.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and humid environments
• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread matches the most widely used fastener size in North American trade applications
• Dome profile caps the exposed thread end, preventing contact injury and protecting the thread from damage
• 7/16 inch width across flats fits standard combination wrenches and nut drivers
• Uncoated silver finish suits applications requiring bare metal contact or a clean aesthetic

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock acorn nut for any 1/4-20 UNC threaded fastener application requiring a capped end finish.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading the nut onto a 1/4-20 UNC male fastener, then seating with a 7/16 inch wrench or nut driver. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on electrical or HVAC assemblies. Do not overtighten, as acorn nuts have a limited thread engagement depth determined by the dome cavity. Stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when torque retention is critical.
