Value Collection R83920648 Hex Nut 1/4-20 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R83920648 is a 1/4-20 hex nut machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a right-hand thread in the UNC/UNF standard and measures 7/16 inches across the flats with a height of 7/32 inches. The 18-8 stainless alloy provides solid corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments, making it a reliable choice for mechanical assemblies, plumbing supports, HVAC equipment mounting, and general trade fastening applications. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians reach for this nut when stainless corrosion resistance is needed without a specialty coating.

This hex nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever a 1/4-20 threaded fastener is required. Common uses include equipment support brackets, sheet-metal assemblies, electrical enclosure hardware, and plumbing fixture mounting in environments where mild corrosion resistance is a factor. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it practical for stocking service trucks or shop inventory at a working quantity.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 thread size, right-hand orientation, UNC/UNF thread standard

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 1/4-20 threaded fastener or stud requiring a standard hex nut in 18-8 stainless steel. Fits wherever a UNC/UNF 1/4-20 mating thread is present in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/16-inch open-end, box, or combination wrench. Hand-tighten first to confirm thread engagement before applying final torque to avoid cross-threading. When used in electrical or plumbing assemblies, follow applicable NEC or IPC guidelines for hardware torque and material compatibility. Inspect threads on the mating fastener for damage or contamination before assembly.
