Value Collection 0-EF-788C87- 3/8-16 Unc Wing Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-EF-788C87- is a zinc-plated steel standard wing nut threaded to 3/8-16 UNC specifications. Manufactured from 1015-1025 grade steel, it delivers reliable clamping force in low-torque, hand-tightened fastening applications. The wing nut spans 1.88 inches across the wings and stands 1.375 inches in wing height, with a base diameter of 0.6875 inches. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty outdoor use. Right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC convention. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use this fastener wherever tool-free removal and reinstallation is required during routine service or panel access.

This wing nut fits standard 3/8-16 UNC threaded rod, bolts, and studs commonly found in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where hand adjustment is preferred over wrench-driven hardware. Typical uses include securing access panels, fixture mounting, and equipment anchoring where the assembly will be opened periodically for inspection or maintenance.

Installation Notes

This wing nut is intended for hand installation only. De-energize or shut off the associated system before servicing any assembly that requires fastener removal. Do not use an impact driver or wrench on wing nut ears, as this may deform the wings and compromise reusability. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC guidelines where this fastener is used as part of a code-governed installation.
