Value Collection SQMSNI2-100-100BX Square Nuts 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SQMSNI2-100-100BX is a box of 100 steel square nuts in a 10-24 thread size with a zinc finish. Square nuts provide a larger bearing surface than hex nuts, making them well suited for use in channels, slots, and wood or thin-metal assemblies where the nut must resist pull-through or rotation. These fasteners use a standard right-hand thread and are manufactured to inch-system dimensions. The zinc coating provides a base level of corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty applications. Each box contains 100 individual nuts, making this a practical bulk-quantity option for contractors, maintenance teams, and service shops stocking commonly used hardware.

These 10-24 square nuts are appropriate for light structural assembly, panel mounting, electrical enclosure work, and general mechanical fastening tasks encountered in HVAC, electrical, and light plumbing trade work. The 10-24 thread designation indicates a number 10 screw diameter with 24 threads per inch, a common size in control panel fabrication, equipment mounting, and light-gauge sheet metal applications. The zinc finish is typical for indoor or sheltered environments where moderate handling and assembly conditions are expected.

Key Features

• 10-24 right-hand thread for compatibility with standard inch-system fasteners
• Zinc finish provides corrosion resistance for general indoor use
• Steel construction for reliable strength in light-duty fastening applications
• Square profile increases bearing surface area, reducing pull-through in slotted tracks and thin materials
• Bulk box of 100 nuts supports shop stock and field service inventory
• Overall height of 0.125 inches suits low-profile assembly requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 10-24 inch-series machine screws and bolts in general mechanical, electrical, and light structural assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Square nuts are typically installed by hand or with standard open-end or combination wrenches sized for the nut flat dimension. Ensure mating screws are also 10-24 right-hand thread before assembly. When used in T-slots or channel track, insert the nut into the track before threading the fastener to prevent binding. Always de-energize any electrical assembly before installing or removing fasteners within live enclosures.
