Value Collection 0-DE-788BS7- Wing Nut 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-DE-788BS7- is a standard wing nut machined from steel grade 1015/1025 for general fastening applications requiring tool-free hand tightening and frequent removal. This right-hand threaded nut uses a 5/16-18 UNC thread form and arrives uncoated, making it suitable for use in dry interior environments or as a base for field-applied corrosion protection. The wing span measures 1.88 inches, the wing height measures 1.375 inches, and the base diameter is 0.6875 inches (11/16 inches). At 0.13 pounds per unit, it is a lightweight fastener used across mechanical, HVAC panel, electrical enclosure, and general assembly work.

This wing nut is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a fastener must be tightened and loosened repeatedly by hand without tooling. Common installation scenarios include securing access panels, guards, covers, or equipment housings in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. The 5/16-18 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in North American trade work, making this nut a standard stocking item for service technicians and installers who need a reliable, hands-on fastening solution.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stocking wing nut for any application using a 5/16-18 UNC threaded stud or bolt requiring tool-free hand fastening.

Installation Notes

Wing nuts are installed and removed by hand and do not require wrenches or power tools under normal service conditions. Before servicing any panel or enclosure secured by wing nuts, shut off power, gas, or fluid supply to the equipment as required by the applicable trade code. Do not overtighten by hand, as steel wing nuts at this size can strip threads in softer mating materials. Follow NEC, IFGC, or IPC guidelines as applicable to the equipment being serviced.
