Value Collection R63092881 Brass Acorn Nut 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63092881 is a standard acorn nut machined from brass, designed to cap exposed thread ends while providing a finished, dome-shaped appearance. Sized for 10-24 UNC right-hand thread, this nut measures 3/8 inch across the flats and 9/32 inch in overall height. The uncoated brass construction offers natural corrosion resistance, making it a practical choice for plumbing, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and general mechanical assemblies where thread protection and a clean finish are both required. Installation requires only a standard wrench or nut driver matched to the 3/8-inch flat dimension.

This acorn nut is suited for light-duty fastening applications across residential and commercial work where a capped, finished fastener end is needed. Typical uses include securing panels, cover plates, and fittings on HVAC cabinets, electrical junction boxes, and plumbing fixtures. The 10-24 UNC thread is one of the most common unified coarse thread sizes in trade hardware, making this nut broadly applicable across multiple disciplines. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Brass material provides inherent corrosion resistance without added coating
• Standard acorn dome profile caps and protects exposed thread ends
• 10-24 UNC right-hand thread fits widely available threaded rod and machine screws
• 3/8 inch width across flats accepts standard hex wrenches and nut drivers
• Compact 9/32 inch overall height suits tight-clearance panel and enclosure applications
• Uncoated finish eliminates coating delamination concerns in humid or wet environments

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 10-24 UNC right-hand threaded fastener application requiring a standard acorn-style cap nut.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading onto a compatible 10-24 UNC stud or bolt, then tightening with a 3/8-inch hex wrench or nut driver. De-energize and depressurize any system before accessing fasteners on live panels or pressurized assemblies. Avoid over-torquing brass hardware, as brass is softer than steel and can strip or crack under excessive force. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or IPC when fasteners are used in electrical or plumbing system enclosures.
