Value Collection 2-EF0-510672 Clamping Handle Nut 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2-EF0-510672 is a handle nut style adjustable clamping handle designed for secure, tool-free fastening and adjustment in industrial and trade applications. Built from ductile iron to material specification 65-45-12, this handle nut delivers the toughness needed for repeated use in demanding environments. The 3/8-16 threaded connection provides a standard fit across a wide range of fixtures and assemblies. A zinc plated finish adds corrosion resistance for use in shop, mechanical room, and light outdoor settings. The handle measures 4.25 inches in length, giving sufficient leverage for hand-tightening without tools. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors use clamping handles like this on equipment panels, access doors, jigs, and fixture assemblies where frequent removal and repositioning is required.

This clamping handle nut is suited for residential and commercial applications wherever a 3/8-16 threaded stud or bolt is present. Common install scenarios include HVAC equipment enclosures, pump and motor mounting fixtures, ductwork access panels, and general mechanical assemblies. The 1.0 inch flange outside diameter provides a clean bearing surface against the mating component. The zinc plated ductile iron construction makes it appropriate for indoor mechanical environments and moderate-duty industrial use. It is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 threaded handle nut connection for broad compatibility with standard fastener assemblies
• Ductile iron construction to material specification 65-45-12 for impact resistance and durability
• Zinc plated finish provides corrosion resistance in mechanical and light industrial environments
• 4.25 inch handle length delivers adequate hand-tightening leverage without tools
• 1.0 inch flange outside diameter provides a stable bearing surface on mating panels or fixtures
• Adjustable clamping design allows for tool-free repositioning and repeated use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit clamping handle nut for assemblies using a standard 3/8-16 threaded stud, suitable for HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical equipment enclosures and fixtures.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the handle nut onto an existing 3/8-16 stud or bolt by hand. Power down or isolate any equipment before servicing panels or enclosures where this handle will be installed. No special tools are required for standard hand-tightening applications. Verify thread engagement is complete and the flange seats flush against the mating surface before returning equipment to service.
