Value Collection 0-EF-816C87- Wing Nut 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-EF-816C87- is a standard wing nut threaded to 3/8-16 UNC, manufactured from steel with a zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance. It is designed for applications requiring hand-tightening and quick release without tools. The wing nut features a 3-inch wing span, a 0.75-inch wing height, and a 1-inch base diameter. Made from steel grade 1015-1025, it provides reliable strength for typical fastening loads in mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, electrical panels, and general trade applications. Right-hand threading follows standard UNC convention for broad compatibility with matching fasteners.

This wing nut is suited for residential and light commercial installations where frequent adjustment or removal is required. Common uses include securing access panels, junction box covers, equipment guards, and fixture components where tool-free operation is preferred. It is appropriate for use in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical service environments where a 3/8-16 UNC threaded fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools and is performed by hand. Ensure the mating threaded fastener is clean and free of debris before threading on the wing nut. Do not use power tools to drive wing nuts, as this can strip the threads or damage the wings. Verify thread direction and size match before installation to avoid cross-threading.
