Value Collection 0-EF-700E87- 3/8-16 Unc Wing Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-EF-700E87- is a standard wing nut machined from 1015/1025 carbon steel with a zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance. It accepts a 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread and features a wing span of 1.625 inches and a wing height of 0.813 inches, making it easy to tighten and loosen by hand without tools. The 5/8-inch base diameter provides a stable seating surface. This fastener is suited for general mechanical and trade assembly work where frequent hand-adjustment of a threaded connection is required.

This wing nut is used across a wide range of trade and light industrial applications including HVAC equipment covers, electrical enclosures, plumbing access panels, and general structural assemblies where tool-free removal is an advantage. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial installations wherever a standard 3/8-16 UNC threaded stud or bolt is present. The zinc plating offers basic protection against oxidation in dry to mildly humid environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread for broad compatibility with standard fastener hardware
• 1.625-inch wing span allows hand-tightening and removal without tools
• 0.813-inch wing height provides adequate grip leverage in confined spaces
• 1015/1025 carbon steel construction for reliable tensile strength in general-duty use
• Zinc plated finish resists oxidation in dry and mildly humid service conditions
• 5/8-inch base diameter seats securely against standard flat and fender washer surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental wing nut for any assembly using a 3/8-16 UNC threaded fastener requiring hand-tightened retention.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — hand-tighten only to avoid stripping the thread or cracking the wings. De-energize or de-pressurize any system before removing or replacing fasteners on live equipment panels or enclosures. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or IFGC when re-securing access covers on electrical or gas equipment. Inspect the mating thread for damage or contamination before installation.
