Value Collection R63092456 Brass Acorn Nut 1/2-13 Unc

Product Description

The Value Collection R63092456 is a standard acorn nut machined from brass, designed to cap and protect the exposed end of a threaded fastener. With a 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread, 3/4 inch width across flats, and a 9/16 inch overall height, this nut provides a finished, domed appearance while sealing the fastener tip from contaminants. Brass construction offers natural corrosion resistance and moderate strength, making it a practical choice in environments where steel fasteners may corrode or where non-sparking hardware is preferred. The uncoated finish leaves the material in its natural state.

This acorn nut is suited for plumbing, HVAC, pool equipment, and general mechanical assembly applications where a capped fastener end is required. Installers use acorn nuts in panel assemblies, pipe fittings, and equipment enclosures to protect threads and prevent contact injuries from exposed bolt ends. The brass material is commonly specified in wet environments, copper piping systems, and low-corrosion applications where metal compatibility is a factor.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread for standard bolt compatibility
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and non-sparking properties
• 3/4 inch width across flats fits standard hex wrenches and sockets
• 9/16 inch overall height with domed cap covers and protects exposed thread ends
• Uncoated finish retains natural brass surface
• Standard acorn nut profile compatible with general fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC acorn nut for use with any 1/2-13 UNC threaded fastener in plumbing, HVAC, pool, or general mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 3/4 inch hex wrench or socket. Thread the nut onto the fastener by hand until snug, then tighten with a wrench to the torque specification required by the assembly design. Do not overtighten brass fasteners, as the material is softer than steel and susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque. Ensure the mating fastener thread class is compatible before installation.
