Value Collection 0-DE-755CS7- Wing Nut 5/16-18 Unc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-DE-755CS7- is a standard wing nut threaded to 5/16-18 UNC specification, manufactured from steel with no surface coating applied. It is used in mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and trade installations where hand-tightened fastening and tool-free removal are required. The 1.25-inch wing span provides adequate grip leverage for finger torquing, and the 15/32-inch base diameter seats flush against standard flat surfaces. With a material grade of 1015-1025 carbon steel, this fastener delivers adequate strength for light to medium-duty clamping applications. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians across HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical work commonly use wing nuts for access panel retention and temporary or serviceable connections.

This wing nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever a 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread pattern is required. Typical uses include securing access covers, equipment guards, duct panels, and junction enclosures. The uncoated steel finish is appropriate for indoor or protected environments where corrosion exposure is minimal. This fastener is sold in multiples of 10, with each unit packaged individually per the listed package quantity.

Installation Notes

Wing nuts of this type are installed and removed by hand. Power tools should not be used, as over-torquing can strip the threads or deform the wings. Confirm the mating thread is 5/16-18 UNC right-hand before installation. In electrical or HVAC enclosure applications, de-energize the equipment before removing any access panel secured by this fastener.
