Value Collection R63084324 Heavy Hex Nut 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63084324 is a heavy hex nut in 1/4-20 UNC thread, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Heavy hex nuts feature a larger across-flats dimension than standard hex nuts, providing greater wrench bearing surface and improved load distribution in structural and industrial fastening applications. The 18-8 stainless steel alloy delivers solid corrosion resistance in mildly corrosive and wet environments, making this nut a dependable choice for mechanical assemblies where standard carbon steel fasteners would be prone to rust or staining. Licensed tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and fabricators commonly use this type of nut across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical work.

This heavy hex nut is suited for residential and commercial applications where 1/4-20 UNC threaded fasteners are specified. Typical use cases include equipment mounting, piping support assemblies, electrical enclosure hardware, and structural connections requiring stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The right-hand thread engages standard 1/4-20 UNC bolts, studs, and threaded rod. This nut is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for maintenance stock and small-lot project procurement.

Key Features

• Heavy hex profile with 0.5 inches across flats for increased wrench engagement
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and mildly caustic environments
• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-series fasteners
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to crack, flake, or affect thread fit
• Height of 15/64 inches provides robust thread engagement depth

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/4-20 UNC threaded bolts, cap screws, studs, and all-thread rod in applications requiring an 18-8 stainless steel heavy hex nut.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading onto a mating 1/4-20 UNC fastener, then tightening with an appropriately sized wrench or socket. Power down or de-energize any equipment before installing or removing fasteners in electrical or mechanical assemblies. Avoid mixing stainless steel nuts with carbon steel fasteners in the same assembly, as galvanic corrosion may occur in wet environments. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for torque requirements specific to the assembly being serviced.
