Value Collection R83920022 6-32 Hex Nut 18-8 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R83920022 is a machine screw hex nut threaded to 6-32 UNC specification, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It is a standard fastener used to secure machine screws in light-duty mechanical assemblies, enclosures, panels, and equipment frames. The right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC convention. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose indoor and outdoor applications. HVAC techs, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals use this hardware when assembling or servicing equipment that calls for a 6-32 threaded fastener. The nut measures 5/16 inches across the flats and 7/64 inches in height.

This hex nut is commonly used in residential and light commercial trade applications where 6-32 machine screws are the specified fastener. Typical installations include electrical panel knockouts, equipment mounting rails, HVAC access panels, junction boxes, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a compact, corrosion-resistant nut. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units, making it suitable for service vans, shop stock, or project-level restocking.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a 5/16-inch hex wrench or nut driver. Power down or de-energize any electrical equipment before installing or removing fasteners in live panels or enclosures, in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout requirements. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling of the threads can occur without proper lubrication. Ensure thread engagement is full and the mating screw is the correct 6-32 UNC specification before applying torque.
