Value Collection R63081482 Acorn Nut 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63081482 is a standard acorn nut machined from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features an 8-32 UNC right-hand thread and measures 5/16 inch across the flats with an overall height of 1/4 inch. The domed cap design covers and protects exposed bolt ends, preventing thread damage and reducing snag hazards. Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides solid corrosion resistance in general-purpose environments. This fastener is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors wherever a clean, finished appearance and thread protection are required.

This acorn nut suits residential and light commercial applications where 8-32 UNC threaded fasteners are used. Common installation scenarios include electrical enclosures, control panels, equipment covers, and mechanical assemblies. The silver uncoated finish is compatible with stainless hardware and general sheet metal applications. The right-hand thread direction follows standard practice for the vast majority of mechanical assemblies encountered in trade work.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 8-32 UNC right-hand thread for broad fastener compatibility
• Domed acorn cap protects exposed thread ends and reduces snag risk
• 5/16 inch width across flats fits standard hex wrenches and nut drivers
• Bright uncoated finish maintains clean silver appearance without added coating buildup

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental fastener for assemblies using 8-32 UNC threaded bolts or studs requiring thread-end protection.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard 5/16 inch hex wrench or nut driver. De-energize and lock out any electrical panel or equipment before working near live conductors. Thread engagement should be confirmed by hand before applying torque to avoid cross-threading stainless fasteners, which are prone to galling. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when used in electrical enclosure applications.
