Coupling Nut 5/8"-18 Grade 2

This MIDWEST FASTENER 76247 coupling nut connects two threaded rods end to end using a 5/8"-18 thread pitch. The steel Grade 2 construction with zinc plating provides standard corrosion resistance for general fastening tasks.

Installation uses standard wrenches

Tighten each rod into opposite ends until they meet in the centre of the long nut body. The main issue is cross-threading if the rod threads are damaged or misaligned during engagement.

Suits rod extension and repair

Builders joining two 5/8"-18 rods for structural or mechanical assemblies will find this nut fits the purpose. Buyers who need a different thread size or a higher strength grade should look at other options.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the coupling nut is correctly joining two 5/8"-18 threaded rods after installation?

Thread each rod into the nut from opposite ends until they meet in the centre; the joint should feel solid with no visible gap between the rod ends.

Does the package include the two 5/8"-18 threaded rods needed for the connection?

Only the Grade 2 zinc-plated steel coupling nut (part 76247) is supplied; the threaded rods must be purchased separately.

When should I choose this Grade 2 zinc-plated coupling nut instead of a higher-grade or stainless version?

Select this nut for general-purpose indoor or dry-environment fastening where Grade 2 strength and basic corrosion resistance are sufficient.
