Value Collection SBMN031CP-100BX Hex Nut 5/16-18 Silicon Bronze

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SBMN031CP-100BX is a 5/16-18 UNC hex nut machined from silicon bronze, supplied uncoated with a bright finish. Silicon bronze offers strong corrosion resistance in marine, coastal, and wet environments, making it a preferred material where steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. The right-hand thread pattern is standard for general assembly. Each nut measures 9/16 inches across the flats and 7/32 inches in height. This listing covers a box quantity of 100 pieces. Plumbers, marine contractors, and general tradespeople working with corrosion-sensitive assemblies will find this fastener appropriate for a wide range of structural and mechanical connections.

This hex nut is suited for use in plumbing, marine hardware, HVAC assemblies, and any application requiring a non-ferrous, corrosion-resistant fastener. The 5/16-18 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in North American trade work, fitting a wide variety of threaded rod, bolts, and stud applications. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate where galvanic compatibility with bronze or copper components is a priority. This product does not meet military specifications and carries a non-graded material designation.

Key Features

• Silicon bronze construction for superior corrosion resistance in marine and wet environments
• 5/16-18 UNC coarse right-hand thread for standard North American fastener compatibility
• 9/16 inches across flats, fits standard 9/16-inch wrench or socket
• 7/32 inch height, appropriate for standard hex nut seating depth

• Sold in a box of 100 pieces for job-lot quantities

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 5/16-18 UNC threaded bolt, stud, or threaded rod requiring a standard hex nut. Suitable for silicon bronze or copper alloy fastener assemblies where galvanic compatibility is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a standard 9/16-inch wrench or socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. In corrosion-sensitive applications, avoid mixing with dissimilar metals that may accelerate galvanic corrosion. Power down any relevant systems and follow applicable mechanical or plumbing codes before fastener service or replacement.
