Value Collection R63488442 Acorn Nut 1/2-13 Unc Brass

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63488442 is a standard acorn nut machined from brass and finished with a nickel plating for corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. The acorn profile caps the exposed end of a threaded fastener, protecting threads from contamination and damage while providing a finished look. This nut features a 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread with a 3/4 inch width across flats and a 9/16 inch overall height. It is suited for light-duty mechanical, plumbing, and electrical enclosure applications where a domed cap nut is required. Installation requires a standard 3/4 inch wrench or socket.

This acorn nut is used in applications where thread-end protection and a finished appearance are both priorities. Common install scenarios include panel assemblies, plumbing fixture hardware, and general mechanical assemblies where brass is selected for its corrosion resistance and machinability. The nickel finish adds an additional layer of protection against oxidation and light chemical exposure. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial use wherever a 1/2-13 UNC threaded fastener requires a capped end.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides natural corrosion resistance and easy workability
• Nickel plating adds surface protection and a uniform finished appearance
• 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard unified coarse thread fasteners
• 3/4 inch width across flats fits standard wrenches and sockets
• 9/16 inch overall height with domed acorn profile protects exposed thread ends

Compatibility

Designed as a standard acorn nut for use with 1/2-13 UNC right-hand threaded fasteners in general mechanical, plumbing, and panel assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading onto a compatible 1/2-13 UNC stud or bolt, then tightening with a 3/4 inch open-end wrench or socket. Avoid over-tightening, as brass is a softer material and the nut dome can be damaged by excessive torque. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable project or trade specifications for fastener torque requirements.
