Value Collection 0-DE-788B87- Wing Nut 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-DE-788B87- is a standard wing nut manufactured from steel with a zinc plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. It features a 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread and is built to material grade 1015-1025. The wing design allows for tool-free hand tightening and loosening, making it well suited for assemblies that require frequent adjustment or removal. This fastener is a practical choice for general-purpose mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical enclosure applications where a secure but removable connection is needed. Installation and removal require no tooling under normal service loads.

This wing nut is applicable to residential and light commercial installations wherever a 5/16-18 UNC threaded stud or bolt is present. Common use cases include securing access panels, junction box covers, equipment guards, and other assemblies that technicians service on a recurring basis. The zinc plated finish provides a degree of protection in dry indoor environments. It is sold individually and is suitable for single-fastener replacement or small-quantity jobsite use.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by hand on a 5/16-18 UNC threaded bolt or stud. De-energize and de-pressurize any system before accessing panels or enclosures secured by this hardware. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of damage before installation. Do not exceed hand-tight torque unless a tool is used with appropriate care to avoid deforming the wing geometry.
