Value Collection 0-DE-720AS7- Wing Nut 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-DE-720AS7- is a standard wing nut machined from steel and intended for threaded fastening applications requiring hand-tightening and frequent removal. It carries a 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread and is left uncoated, making it a straightforward mechanical fastener suited for general-purpose assembly work. The wing span measures 1.625 inches and the wing height is 1 inch, providing adequate finger grip for tool-free installation and removal. Material grade is 1015-1025 carbon steel. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors use this type of fastener wherever panels, guards, or covers need to be removed and reinstalled regularly without a wrench.

This wing nut is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a 5/16-18 UNC threaded stud or bolt is present. Typical install scenarios include securing access panels, mounting brackets, ground straps, or any assembly point that benefits from tool-free service access. The uncoated steel finish is suited for dry indoor environments. The base diameter is 7/8 inches, providing a stable seating surface against the mating component.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by hand and does not require tools for tightening or removal under normal service conditions. Ensure the mating stud or bolt is clean and free of debris before threading the nut. Do not use a wrench or pliers to over-torque a wing nut, as the wings can deform and weaken the grip. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical codes when using fasteners in regulated assemblies.
