Value Collection 0-DE-780CS7- 5/16-18 Unc Steel Wing Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-DE-780CS7- is a standard wing nut machined from steel grade 1015/1025, designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where frequent assembly and disassembly are required. Sized for a 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread, it delivers a 1.5-inch wing span and a 0.75-inch wing height, giving a technician or installer enough leverage to seat and release the nut without tools. The 5/8-inch base diameter provides solid bearing surface contact. This type of hardware is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals on equipment panels, covers, and access assemblies.

This wing nut fits 5/16-18 UNC threaded fastener applications across residential and light commercial settings. Typical install scenarios include equipment access panels, junction box covers, pipe hangers, strap clamps, and any assembly where hand-tightening is preferable to wrench torque. The uncoated steel finish suits interior or protected environments. It is part of the 780 series and is sold in a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces per order.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard hardware addition for any 5/16-18 UNC threaded fastener application requiring a hand-tightened wing nut.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools under normal hand-tightening conditions. Before servicing any equipment that uses this hardware, de-energize electrical systems per NEC requirements or shut off fluid supply per IPC or IFGC guidelines as applicable. Avoid over-tightening by wrench, as the wing geometry is not designed for tool-applied torque. Inspect threads on the mating stud or bolt for damage before installation to ensure full thread engagement.
