Value Collection R63084840 Heavy Hex Nut 1/2-13 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63084840 is a heavy hex nut designed for use with 1/2-13 UNC threaded fasteners. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this nut provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. The heavy hex profile offers a larger width across flats compared to a standard hex nut, delivering more bearing surface and improved wrench engagement. Right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC threading convention. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and general contractors install this type of fastener wherever a durable, corrosion-resistant connection is required.

This heavy hex nut is suited for residential and commercial applications where stainless steel fasteners are specified. Common uses include pipe flange connections, mechanical equipment mounting, structural assemblies, and any installation calling for 1/2-13 UNC threaded hardware. The 18-8 stainless steel grade is appropriate for general-purpose corrosion-resistant service and is widely accepted across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and light structural trades.

Key Features

• Heavy hex profile with 7/8 inch width across flats for increased wrench engagement
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-series threaded fasteners
• Bright uncoated finish with no additional plating or coating
• Height of 31/64 inch provides solid nut engagement depth

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-13 UNC threaded bolts, studs, and rods requiring a heavy hex nut in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard wrench or socket sized for a 7/8 inch hex. Ensure mating fasteners are also 1/2-13 UNC thread specification before assembly. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for fastener torque requirements based on the specific application. Inspect threads for damage or contamination before assembly to avoid cross-threading or galling, which is common with stainless steel fasteners.
