Value Collection 34355 Type a Wing Nut 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34355 is a Type A wing nut manufactured from steel with a zinc plated finish. Designed for hand-tightened fastening applications, it accepts a 5/16-18 UNC right-hand thread and delivers a secure hold without tools. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for light-duty indoor and outdoor use. With a wing span of 1.25 inches and a wing height of 0.66 inches, this nut offers a stable grip surface for repeated tightening and loosening cycles. It is a standard hardware item used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies wherever quick, tool-free fastening is required.

This wing nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications where frequent access panels, covers, or equipment guards need to be removed and reinstalled without specialized tools. Typical use cases include securing junction box covers, equipment enclosures, and access panels. It is compatible with any standard 5/16-18 UNC threaded bolt or stud.
