Stop sacrificing durability for sourcing ease. This plated 5/16-18 hex nut ensures consistent thread engagement and a corrosion-resistant finish for commercial repair kits and assembly lines, allowing for fast parts replacement with predictable fitment. Food service technicians and maintenance teams benefit from standardized dimensions that match common equipment fasteners, reducing downtime and simplifying inventory management.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Wipe plated hex nut with a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution; rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion. Scrub threads with a nylon brush to remove debris, then inspect for damage and replace if stripped. Store in a dry container to avoid moisture. Routine cleaning prevents cross-contamination at high-touch zones, supports health-code compliance, deters pests by removing food residue, and preserves hardware service life.#@@#Additional Info#@#PartsTown 14786 plated 5/16-18 hex nut weighs 0.01 pounds and measures 0.25 inches, offering corrosion-resistant performance for foodservice equipment; CSA-compatible and stocked for prompt B2B fulfillment.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop sacrificing durability for sourcing ease. This plated 5/16-18 hex nut ensures consistent thread engagement and a corrosion-resistant finish for commercial repair kits and assembly lines, allowing for fast parts replacement with predictable fitment. Food service technicians and maintenance teams benefit from standardized dimensions that match common equipment fasteners, reducing downtime and simplifying inventory management.
#@@# Thread Specification#@#
The 5/16-18 thread profile adheres to UNC standards and provides reliable coarse-thread engagement for typical sheet metal and equipment applications. Technicians achieve predictable torque response and a reduced risk of thread stripping when paired with compatible bolts.
#@@# Plated Finish#@#
A protective plating resists oxidation in kitchen environments and during routine washdowns, extending service life compared to uncoated alternatives. Maintenance staff can preserve equipment appearance and performance without frequent nut replacement.
#@@# Dimensional Consistency#@#
The nut measures approximately 0.25 inches in height and width, supporting repeatable assembly tolerances across batches. Fabrication teams can maintain alignment and clamping force when swapping replacement parts under production pressures.
#@@# Lightweight Design#@#
At roughly 0.01 pounds per unit, the component adds negligible mass to assemblies while retaining sufficient clamping strength for standard tasks. Transport and stocking operations help reduce shipping costs and handling strain for large-volume purchases.
#@@# Compatibility Range#@#
Engineers can integrate the nut into common commercial kitchen hardware, shelving, and small equipment fastenings that accept 5/16-18 sizing. Procurement departments can avoid custom machining by specifying this standardized part for repairs and retrofits.
