Value Collection R63092444 Brass Acorn Nut 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63092444 is a standard acorn nut machined from brass, designed to cap and protect threaded fastener ends while providing a finished, dome-shaped appearance. It features a 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread and measures 5/8 inches across the flats with an overall height of 27/64 inches. The uncoated brass construction offers natural corrosion resistance, making it well suited for plumbing, HVAC, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies where a clean termination on an exposed bolt or stud is required. Licensed trades and experienced installers typically use these nuts as protective end caps on machine screws and bolts in applications where thread exposure poses a safety or aesthetic concern.

This acorn nut is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations wherever a 3/8-16 UNC threaded fastener needs to be capped or secured. Common applications include pipe flange assemblies, equipment mounting hardware, pool and spa mechanical enclosures, and HVAC cabinet fasteners. The brass material is compatible with a range of base metals and performs reliably in mildly corrosive or humid environments typical of plumbing and mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread for broad compatibility with standard fractional hardware
• Brass construction provides natural corrosion resistance without additional coating
• 5/8 inches width across flats fits standard hex wrenches and sockets
• 27/64 inches overall height offers a low-profile dome cap for thread protection
• Uncoated finish suits applications where galvanic compatibility with brass fittings is needed

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental acorn nut for any 3/8-16 UNC threaded fastener application requiring a brass, uncoated cap nut.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/8 inches hex wrench or socket. Hand-tighten first to confirm thread engagement before applying tool torque. Power down or isolate any electrical or mechanical system before replacing fastener hardware in live assemblies. Brass is a softer material than steel — avoid over-torquing, which can strip threads or deform the nut body.
