Value Collection R63084249 5/16-18 316 Ss Hex Nut Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63084249 is a 5/16-18 UNC hex nut machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a right-hand thread and measures 0.5 inches across the flats with a height of 17/64 inches. Grade 316 stainless offers superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, thanks to its molybdenum content, making it a reliable choice for fastening applications where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or salt is a concern. This nut is installed by mechanics, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working across a range of industrial and commercial environments.

This hex nut is suited for use in marine, chemical processing, food service, and outdoor structural applications where corrosion resistance is a primary requirement. The 5/16-18 UNC thread size fits a wide range of standard bolts and threaded rod in that size class. It is well-suited for both new assembly work and maintenance or repair tasks where a durable, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion and chemical resistance
• 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard unified coarse thread fasteners
• Bright, uncoated finish — no additional coating that could compromise thread tolerance or fit
• 0.5 inches across flats — accepts standard 1/2-inch wrench or socket
• Height of 17/64 inches for a compact profile in tight fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 5/16-18 UNC threaded bolts, studs, and threaded rod in standard unified coarse thread applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading the nut onto a matching 5/16-18 UNC bolt or stud, then tightening with a standard 1/2-inch wrench or socket. Always verify thread engagement is clean and free of debris before applying torque. When working in corrosive or wet environments, inspect mating fasteners for compatible material grade to avoid galvanic corrosion. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for the specific application.
