Hillman Zinc Plated Coupling Nut 5/16"-18 Uss Coarse Thread

Hillman Zinc Plated Coupling Nut 5/16"-18 USS Coarse Thread

The Hillman Zinc Plated Coupling Nut is an elongated hex nut used to connect two pieces of threaded material at opposite ends. It is most commonly used to join lengths of threaded rod into a longer threaded piece. It works much like a standard hex nut, but it is designed to connect rather than to finish a fastening, which makes it ideal for mechanical and industrial applications. The zinc plating offers moderate protection against rust and corrosion. For a complete fastening solution, use it with bolts, threaded rods and washers of the same thread size and finish. This coupling nut has a 5/16"-18 USS coarse thread.
