Value Collection 0-GH-816E87- Wing Nut 1/2-13 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0-GH-816E87- is a standard wing nut manufactured from steel with a zinc plated finish. Sized for 1/2-13 UNC threading, it provides a right-hand, tool-free fastening solution commonly used in mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, access covers, and light structural applications where frequent removal is required. The base diameter measures 1 inch, the wing span reaches 3 inches, and the wing height is 0.75 inches. Material grade is 1015/1025 steel, offering adequate strength for general-purpose fastening. At 0.15 pounds, it is lightweight and suited for applications where hand-tightening torque is sufficient.

This wing nut is appropriate for residential and light commercial maintenance tasks, assembly line work, and service applications where bolts or threaded studs require repeated hand-tightening and loosening without tools. Typical uses include HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing access covers, and pool equipment housings. It is installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general maintenance personnel working on threaded 1/2-13 UNC fastener locations. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor environments.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread for standard compatibility with common threaded studs and bolts
• 3-inch wing span allows comfortable hand-tightening without tools
• Zinc plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance
• 1015/1025 steel construction for reliable general-purpose strength
• 1-inch base diameter provides stable seating on mating surfaces
• Series 816 standard wing nut profile

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or service wing nut for any application using a 1/2-13 UNC threaded stud or bolt requiring hand-tightened fastening.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools and is performed by hand-threading onto a compatible 1/2-13 UNC stud or bolt. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation to prevent cross-threading. Do not exceed hand-tight torque, as wing nuts are not designed for wrench-applied force. Confirm the fastener grade and application load requirements are appropriate for 1015/1025 steel before use in structural or high-vibration applications.
