Value Collection 0-EF-788CS7- 3/8-16 Unc Wing Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-EF-788CS7- is a standard wing nut made from uncoated steel, designed for hand-tightening and quick-release fastening applications. Threaded to 3/8-16 UNC with a right-hand thread direction, it accepts standard 3/8-inch fasteners without tools. The steel construction conforms to material grade 1015/1025, offering reliable tensile strength for general-purpose mechanical and structural assembly. With a wing span of 1.88 inches and a wing height of 1.375 inches, the wings provide sufficient grip surface for repeated hand operation. This fastener is installed by maintenance technicians, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC service professionals wherever tool-free removal is a priority.

This wing nut suits residential and light commercial applications where components require frequent removal or adjustment. Common install scenarios include panel covers, equipment access doors, conduit clamps, junction box covers, and general mechanical assemblies. The 11/16-inch base diameter seats flat against standard fastener surfaces. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new installations and service replacements on existing assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools and is performed by hand. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before seating the nut. Do not use a wrench or pliers to over-torque a wing nut, as this can deform the wings and strip the thread. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for proper fastener seating in your specific application.
