Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-DE-720A87- is a standard wing nut designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not required for assembly or frequent removal. Manufactured from steel with a zinc plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this wing nut carries a 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread and is produced to material grade 1015-1025. With a wing span of 1.625 inches and a wing height of 1 inch, it provides a secure grip surface for repeated hand operation. The base diameter measures 7/8 inch. It is a straightforward hardware component used by tradespeople across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work wherever a tool-free fastener is needed.

This wing nut suits light-duty and medium-duty assemblies where panels, guards, covers, or access doors must be removed and reinstalled regularly. It is commonly used in residential and commercial mechanical systems, equipment enclosures, and field-fabricated supports. The standard UNC thread pattern makes it compatible with widely available bolts and threaded rod stock found on most job sites. This part is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools and is performed by hand. Verify the mating bolt or threaded rod is 5/16-18 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. For assemblies on energized equipment, de-energize and lock out the circuit before removing or reinstalling any fasteners per applicable safety procedures. Do not use impact tools on wing nuts, as this can deform the wings and damage the thread.
