Value Collection 0-DE-816BM7- 5/16-18 Wing Nut Iron

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-DE-816BM7- is a standard wing nut threaded to 5/16-18 UNC, manufactured from iron with a plain uncoated finish. It is designed for hand-tightening applications where tools-free removal and reinstallation are required. The wing nut features a 1-inch base diameter, a 3-inch wing span, and a 0.75-inch wing height. Material grade is 32510 iron. This fastener suits maintenance, assembly, and mechanical applications where repeated access to a fastened joint is expected. Installers across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades use this type of hardware for panel covers, access doors, and light-duty clamping.

This wing nut is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial settings wherever a 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread is required. It is well suited for hand-accessible joints on equipment panels, jigs, fixtures, and enclosures. The plain iron construction makes it compatible with applications where corrosion exposure is minimal and coating or plating is not required by the installation environment.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread for broad fastener compatibility
• Iron construction, material grade 32510 for adequate mechanical strength
• 3-inch wing span for comfortable hand torque without tools
• 0.75-inch wing height for clearance in tight assemblies
• 1-inch base diameter for stable seating on mating surfaces
• Plain uncoated finish — no added zinc or coating buildup on threads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock wing nut for any 5/16-18 UNC threaded stud or bolt application requiring a hand-removable fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools under normal hand-tightening conditions. Ensure the mating stud or bolt is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading the iron nut. Do not use a wrench or driver on the wings, as iron wing nuts are not rated for tool-applied torque and may fracture. In environments with moisture exposure, consider a zinc-plated or stainless alternative to prevent corrosion.
