Value Collection 0-EF-805E87- 3/8-16 Unc Wing Nut

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-EF-805E87- is a standard wing nut threaded to 3/8-16 UNC specification, manufactured from 1015/1025 grade steel with a zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance. It features a 2.5-inch wing span and a 0.69-inch wing height, allowing for tool-free hand tightening in applications where frequent removal and reinstallation is required. The zinc plating provides a serviceable level of protection against light moisture and oxidation. This fastener is a common stock item for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing tradespeople who maintain panels, covers, and assemblies that require repeated access.

This wing nut is suited for residential and light commercial maintenance tasks where a 3/8-16 UNC threaded stud or bolt is used. Typical applications include securing access panels, junction box covers, equipment guards, and other removable assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical service environments. The right-hand thread direction is standard for North American fastener applications. The 9/16-inch base diameter provides stable seating against flat surfaces during tightening.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools under normal hand-tightening conditions. Ensure the mating bolt or stud is clean and free of debris before threading on the nut. For assemblies subject to vibration, consider using a lock washer or thread-locking compound to prevent loosening. Do not use impact tools on wing nuts, as this can damage the wings and strip the thread.
