Value Collection VA1060PS Hex Nut 5/8-11 Aluminum

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION VA1060PS is a standard hex nut threaded to a 5/8-11 UN specification with a right-hand thread direction. Machined from non-graded aluminum, this nut ships uncoated with a bright finish. It measures 15/16 inches across the flats and 35/64 inches in height. Aluminum construction keeps weight minimal at approximately 0.01 pounds per piece while providing adequate corrosion resistance in light-duty and low-load applications. This nut is installed using a standard wrench or socket and is suited for general mechanical assembly, light structural connections, and maintenance work where steel fasteners are not required.

This hex nut is used in general-purpose fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and light industrial trades. It is appropriate for aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-non-ferrous assemblies where galvanic compatibility is a consideration. Commonly used in panel mounting, conduit work, light framing, and equipment assembly. The 5/8-11 thread size is a widely encountered coarse-thread specification in North American mechanical work.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 UN coarse right-hand thread for compatibility with standard 5/8-inch bolts and threaded rod
• Aluminum material reduces weight and offers natural corrosion resistance in non-aggressive environments
• Bright uncoated finish with no plating or treatment that could affect dimensional tolerance
• 15/16 inches across flats — fits standard 15/16-inch wrench or socket
• 35/64 inches height — standard hex nut profile for 5/8-11 thread
• Does not meet military specifications — suited for commercial and general trade use

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 5/8-11 UN right-hand threaded bolt, stud, or threaded rod in commercial and general-purpose mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 15/16-inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. Power down or de-energize any adjacent electrical components before working in panel or conduit applications. Aluminum fasteners should not be over-torqued, as the material is softer than steel and susceptible to thread stripping. Avoid pairing with steel fasteners in wet environments where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
