Description
Overview
Imperial UNF and UNC fasteners are selected by thread form, diameter, length, material, finish and strength grade. UNF is a fine thread form and UNC is a coarse thread form; they must not be mixed with metric threads.
This selected size is specified with diameter 1/2 in, length 5 in, thread 1/2 in.
Sold in multiples of '25 pieces. 1 Box = '25 pieces.
Material, Grade & Strength
SAE Grade 5 is a medium to high tensile imperial fastener grade used where greater strength than low carbon steel is required. Use compatible imperial nuts and washers of suitable strength.
Finish & Corrosion Protection
Plain finish has no plated corrosion protection and is best used in protected, oiled, painted or indoor environments.
Typical Uses
Imperial UNF and UNC fasteners are used in equipment, vehicles and machinery designed around inch-series thread systems.
Technical Tips
- Do not mix metric and imperial threads.
- Confirm whether the thread is UNF or UNC before ordering.
- Use matching imperial nuts and washers.
- Select the correct spanner or socket size for the hex head.
Selection Advice
Select the product by matching the thread, size, material, finish and function to the assembly. Avoid choosing only by appearance or a partial part number.
