Value Collection R63081441 Acorn Nut 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63081441 is a standard acorn nut machined from Grade 18-8 stainless steel and threaded to a 6-32 UNC specification. Acorn nuts — also called cap nuts or dome nuts — close off the exposed end of a bolt or stud, protecting the threads and creating a finished appearance. The domed cap prevents contact with the threaded shank, making these fasteners a common choice where exposed hardware must resist corrosion or present a clean look. The 5/16-inch width across flats suits a standard 5/16-inch wrench or socket. Overall height is 1/4 inch. The uncoated stainless steel finish provides inherent corrosion resistance without plating.

These acorn nuts are used across residential and light commercial applications wherever a finished, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. Typical installations include electrical enclosures, pool equipment housings, marine hardware, plumbing fixture assemblies, and HVAC cabinet fastening. They are well suited for stainless fastener pairing to avoid galvanic corrosion concerns in wet or outdoor environments. Right-hand thread direction is standard. Trade electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pool service professionals commonly stock 6-32 acorn nuts for panel and equipment enclosure work.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 6-32 UNC right-hand thread for broad fastener compatibility
• 5/16-inch width across flats — fits standard 5/16-inch wrench or socket
• 1/4-inch overall height with domed cap that covers and protects exposed thread ends
• Uncoated silver finish — no plating to chip or flake over time

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC acorn nut for use with any 6-32 UNC threaded bolt or stud requiring a capped, corrosion-resistant fastener.

Installation Notes

Install by hand-threading onto a clean 6-32 UNC stud or bolt, then tighten with a 5/16-inch wrench or nut driver to snug. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before fastening hardware inside panels or enclosures, in accordance with applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in highly conductive or submerged environments to minimize galvanic corrosion risk. Do not over-torque — stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling if driven with excessive force.
