Value Collection 2-DE0-510671 Clamping Handle Nut 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2-DE0-510671 is an adjustable clamping handle nut designed for secure manual clamping and positioning applications in industrial and trade environments. Built from ductile iron to material specification 65-45-12, it delivers the toughness needed for repeated use in demanding conditions. The handle measures 3.75 inches in length and features a 5/16-18 threaded connection. A zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance. This type of hardware is typically installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and trade professionals working on machine fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and adjustable assemblies.

This clamping handle nut is suited for use in light industrial, HVAC equipment access panels, mechanical enclosures, and fixture applications where tool-free hand adjustment is required. The 5/16-18 thread size fits standard fractional fastener patterns common across a wide range of equipment platforms. The ductile iron construction handles moderate clamping loads without deforming under normal service conditions.

Key Features

• Ductile iron construction to material spec 65-45-12 for strength and durability
• 5/16-18 threaded connection for compatibility with standard fractional fastener patterns
• 3.75-inch handle length provides adequate leverage for hand-tightening
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Flange outside diameter of 0.9375 inches for consistent seating
• Handle nut connection type allows direct mounting onto threaded studs or bolts

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation clamping handle nut for equipment and assemblies using 5/16-18 threaded fastener interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — thread the handle nut onto a compatible 5/16-18 stud or bolt by hand and tighten to the required clamping force. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before servicing panels or fixtures secured by clamping hardware. Verify thread engagement is sufficient before applying clamping load to avoid cross-threading or stripping.
