Value Collection VA1020PS Hex Nut 1/4-20 Aluminum

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VA1020PS is a 1/4-20 hex nut machined from aluminum with a bright, uncoated finish. This standard hex nut measures 7/16 inches across the flats and 7/32 inches in height, with a right-hand thread cut to UN thread standards. At 0.01 pounds per piece, it is well suited for lightweight assemblies where corrosion resistance and reduced mass matter. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors reach for aluminum hardware when working near dissimilar metals or in environments where steel fasteners would corrode or add unnecessary weight.

This nut is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial trade applications including panel mounting, equipment framing, conduit support hardware, ductwork assemblies, and general mechanical fastening where a 1/4-20 thread pattern is specified. The uncoated aluminum finish is compatible with aluminum bolts, threaded rod, and other aluminum or non-ferrous fasteners. It is not rated to military specification and carries a non-graded material classification, making it suitable for standard-duty, non-structural fastening tasks.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 thread size with right-hand thread direction
• Aluminum construction for lightweight, corrosion-resistant performance
• Bright, uncoated finish with no additional coating to affect thread fit
• UN thread standard for broad fastener compatibility
• 7/16-inch across-flats dimension fits standard 7/16-inch wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/4-20 threaded bolts, screws, and threaded rod conforming to UN thread standards. Suitable for aluminum and non-ferrous fastener assemblies in standard-duty trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 7/16-inch wrench or socket driver. Hand-thread the nut fully onto the mating fastener before applying tool torque to avoid cross-threading. Do not use with steel fasteners in wet or dissimilar-metal environments without appropriate isolation to prevent galvanic corrosion. This fastener is non-graded and should not be used in structural, load-bearing, or safety-critical applications.
