Value Collection R63092922 Brass Acorn Nut 1/4-20 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63092922 is a standard acorn nut machined from brass, designed to cap and protect exposed thread ends while providing a finished appearance. The closed dome profile covers the end of the mating bolt or stud, preventing thread damage and blocking contaminants. This nut is sized for 1/4-20 UNC threads with right-hand threading, a 7/16 inch width across flats, and an overall height of 21/64 inch. The uncoated brass construction resists corrosion in a range of environments and eliminates galvanic concerns when paired with brass or copper fittings. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians commonly use acorn nuts on terminal studs, panel fasteners, and piping hardware.

This acorn nut is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies where a capped, decorative, or protective nut is required. The 1/4-20 UNC thread specification is one of the most common thread forms in trade applications, making this nut widely applicable across residential and light commercial work. It is particularly well-suited for corrosion-sensitive environments where bare steel fasteners would be inappropriate, such as near water lines, pool equipment, or exterior enclosures.

Key Features

• Standard acorn nut profile caps and protects exposed bolt or stud threads
• Brass construction offers natural corrosion resistance without a coating
• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread for broad compatibility with standard fastener stock
• 7/16 inch width across flats accepts a standard 7/16 inch wrench or socket
• 21/64 inch overall height provides a low-profile dome suitable for tight clearances
• Uncoated finish eliminates risk of coating delamination in high-moisture or chemical environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard hardware addition for any assembly using 1/4-20 UNC threaded fasteners where a capped nut is specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a 7/16 inch open-end wrench or socket driver. Hand-tighten first to confirm thread engagement before applying tool torque. De-energize or shut off the relevant system before servicing any panel or enclosure fasteners. Brass fasteners are softer than steel and should not be over-torqued, as the threads may strip or the dome may deform.
