Value Collection 0-DE-816B17- Wing Nut 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-DE-816B17- is a standard wing nut designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where tools are not required for assembly and disassembly. Manufactured from iron with a zinc plated finish, this nut resists corrosion in typical indoor and light-duty environments. It carries a 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread and meets material grade 32510. With a wing span of 3 inches and a base diameter of 1 inch, the part provides sufficient grip surface for secure manual tightening. It is a Series 816 fastener suited for general mechanical assembly, fixture mounting, and equipment panels where repeated hand access is expected.

This wing nut is appropriate for light industrial, mechanical, and trade applications including HVAC access panels, electrical enclosure covers, plumbing fixture mounting, and general equipment assemblies. The 5/16-18 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in trade use, making this nut compatible with a wide range of standard threaded rods, bolts, and machine screws in that thread class. It is sold individually and is suitable for both new assembly and replacement in existing installations.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard coarse-thread fasteners
• Iron construction rated to material grade 32510
• Zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance in light-duty environments
• 3-inch wing span provides ample grip for hand tightening without tools
• 1-inch base diameter for stable seating on mating surfaces
• Series 816 standard wing nut profile

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation wing nut for any 5/16-18 UNC threaded bolt or rod in light industrial, mechanical, or trade service applications.

Installation Notes

Wing nuts are installed and removed by hand and do not require a wrench for typical service. Ensure the mating bolt or rod is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-torque by tool; hand-tight is the intended installation method. Inspect the zinc plating for damage before use in environments with moisture exposure.
