Value Collection 2-EF0-510D72 Clamping Handle Nut 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2-EF0-510D72 is an adjustable clamping handle nut designed for secure, tool-free clamping and positioning applications in industrial and trade settings. Built from ductile iron to the 65-45-12 material specification, this handle nut delivers the toughness and wear resistance required in demanding environments. It features a 3/8-16 threaded connection and a 4.25-inch handle length, giving the operator sufficient leverage for hand-tightening without tools. The 1-inch flange outside diameter provides a stable bearing surface. This type of hardware is commonly installed by mechanical contractors, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on jigs, fixtures, guards, enclosures, and adjustable machine components.

This handle nut is suited for light industrial, commercial, and trade applications where repeated adjustment or removal is required. Typical use cases include equipment panels, access covers, guard mounting, and fixture clamping in HVAC equipment rooms, plumbing utility spaces, and general mechanical installations. The ductile iron construction makes it appropriate for both indoor and sheltered outdoor environments where corrosion exposure is limited.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 thread size for compatibility with standard fastener hardware
• 4.25-inch handle length provides hand-tightening leverage without tools
• Ductile iron construction per material specification 65-45-12 for strength and durability
• 1-inch flange outside diameter for a stable clamping surface
• Handle nut connection type allows quick adjustment and repositioning

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style replacement or add-on clamping handle nut for equipment and fixtures using 3/8-16 threaded fastener interfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical contractors and requires no special tooling beyond hand tightening. Ensure the mating threaded stud or bolt is clean and free of damage before threading on the handle nut. Do not use impact tools on this handle nut, as overloading the ductile iron body can cause cracking. Follow equipment manufacturer guidelines for clamping torque and load ratings when used in safety-critical fixture applications.
