MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 74284 Hex Nut 3/8"-16 Steel Grade 5 Chrome 10 PK

Pack contents and sizing

This pack contains ten chrome-plated steel hex nuts, each with a 3/8"-16 thread. They are rated to Grade 5 strength and suit general-purpose fastening tasks on compatible bolts or machine screws. The quantity covers small repairs or multiple connection points in a single purchase.

Fit and assembly role

The nuts mate with 3/8"-16 threads to clamp parts together and free the builder from sourcing individual pieces. They work with standard wrenches or sockets that match the hex profile and require no special tools or adapters. Each nut provides a secure mechanical joint when torqued to the appropriate specification for the application.

Upgrade context

These Grade 5 nuts replace lower-grade or worn fasteners where higher tensile strength is needed. The chrome plating adds corrosion resistance compared with plain steel, extending service life in exposed or damp conditions. The step up is worthwhile when the joint sees repeated loading or when the original hardware has stripped or rusted.
