Value Collection 0-EF-720B87- 3/8-16 Unc Wing Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-EF-720B87- is a standard wing nut designed for fast, tool-free fastening in light-duty assembly and maintenance applications. Manufactured from steel to material grade 1015-1025 and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance, this wing nut meets the demands of general trade and industrial use. The 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool equipment work, making this a practical shelf item for service vans and shop benches alike. The wing span measures 1.625 inches, providing sufficient grip surface for hand-tightening without tools.

This wing nut suits residential and light commercial applications where frequent access or adjustment is required — such as panel covers, equipment guards, filter frames, access doors, and junction enclosures. The 7/8-inch base diameter and 1-inch wing height give it a compact profile that fits standard 3/8-16 threaded studs and bolts. It is a Series 720 fastener and carries a UNC thread standard, compatible with the standard 3/8-16 inch thread system used across HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Wing nuts of this type are installed and removed by hand; no wrench is required under normal conditions. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation to avoid cross-threading. For equipment panels or access covers subject to vibration, verify that hand-tight seating is adequate for the application or consider a locking fastener if required by the equipment manufacturer. Always de-energize electrical equipment or shut off relevant systems before removing or installing fasteners on live panels or pressurized assemblies.
