Value Collection R63488243 Acorn Nut 10-24 Unc Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63488243 is a standard acorn nut manufactured from brass with a nickel plated finish. It features a 10-24 UNC right-hand thread and measures 3/8 inches across the flats with an overall height of 9/32 inches. The domed cap design covers and protects exposed thread ends, preventing thread damage and providing a finished appearance on fastened assemblies. This nut is suited for light electrical, plumbing, and mechanical applications where a clean termination point and corrosion resistance are priorities. Electricians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors routinely use acorn nuts in panel work, fixture mounting, and equipment enclosures.

This acorn nut is appropriate for use in residential and commercial installations wherever a 10-24 UNC threaded fastener requires a protective cap end. Common applications include electrical enclosure hardware, plumbing fixture trim, HVAC equipment panels, and general mechanical assemblies. The nickel plated brass construction provides moderate corrosion resistance in indoor and light-duty environments. Each unit ships individually but must be ordered in multiples of 10.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 3/8 inch hex wrench or socket. Power down or de-energize any electrical assembly before servicing fasteners on live panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten brass hardware, as the material is softer than steel and subject to thread stripping under excessive torque. Follow applicable NEC or IPC guidelines when installing fastener hardware within regulated systems.
