Value Collection 0-EF-805ES7- Wing Nut 3/8-16 Unc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-EF-805ES7- is a standard wing nut machined from steel grade 1015/1025 and left uncoated for a clean bare-metal finish. Designed for hand-tightening applications, it features a 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread pattern and a 2.5-inch wing span that provides sufficient grip surface for tool-free fastening and removal. With a wing height of 0.69 inches and a base diameter of 9/16 inch, this nut fits standard fastener assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service applications. It is commonly installed and removed by technicians who need fast, repeatable access to panels, covers, and equipment housings.

This wing nut is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks where frequent hand removal is required. Typical applications include equipment access panels, junction boxes, filter housings, and ductwork covers in both residential and light commercial settings. The uncoated steel construction is appropriate for dry or protected interior environments. Technicians in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades will find this nut compatible with standard 3/8-16 UNC threaded rods, bolts, and studs.

Installation Notes

Wing nuts of this type are installed and removed by hand in most service scenarios, requiring no wrenches or power tools. Before servicing any equipment, de-energize electrical systems per NEC guidelines or shut off fluid supply lines per applicable plumbing codes. Do not overtighten by hand beyond snug-fit, as the steel ears can deform under excessive force. Inspect threads on the mating bolt or stud for damage before installation to ensure proper engagement.
