Value Collection R63488288 Acorn Nut 1/4-20 Unc Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63488288 is a standard acorn nut machined from brass and finished with nickel plating. Acorn nuts — also called cap nuts — feature a domed top that covers exposed thread ends, protecting both the fastener and surrounding surfaces from corrosion, abrasion, and contact hazards. This nut is threaded 1/4-20 UNC with a right-hand thread direction, a 7/16 inch width across flats, and an overall height of 21/64 inch. The nickel plating over brass provides corrosion resistance and a clean finished appearance, making this hardware suitable for applications where aesthetics and durability both matter.

This acorn nut is used in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture trim, and general trade applications where a capped fastener is required. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in North American trade work, making this nut a straightforward replacement or supplemental hardware item across residential and light commercial installations. It is well suited for any technician or installer who needs a finished, corrosion-resistant cap nut in a standard size.

Key Features

• Brass base material with nickel plating for corrosion resistance and clean appearance
• 1/4-20 UNC right-hand thread — one of the most widely used coarse-thread standards in trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC acorn nut for use in any application requiring a right-hand threaded cap nut of this thread size and drive dimension.

Installation Notes

Install using a 7/16 inch open-end wrench or socket. Hand-tighten first to confirm thread engagement before applying tool torque to avoid cross-threading the brass nut. Brass is softer than steel — do not over-torque. Confirm the mating fastener or stud is also 1/4-20 UNC before installation.
