Value Collection 34356 Type a Wing Nut 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34356 is a Type A wing nut made from steel with a zinc plated finish, designed for hand-tightening applications where frequent assembly and disassembly are required. This fastener uses a 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread and features a wing span of 1.44 inches and a wing height of 0.79 inches. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose use in light-duty mechanical, electrical, and structural assemblies. It is installed by hand without tools and is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades.

This wing nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a tool-free fastening solution is needed. Typical uses include panel covers, access doors, equipment guards, junction boxes, and other assemblies that require periodic removal. The 3/8-16 UNC thread standard is widely used across trade applications, making this nut a common replacement or supplemental fastener in maintenance kits and service vehicles.

Installation Notes

This wing nut is installed and removed by hand. Before servicing any panel, enclosure, or equipment guard, de-energize electrical systems and shut off relevant utilities per applicable NEC or local code requirements. Do not use power tools to drive wing nuts, as this can deform or break the wings. Verify thread engagement is adequate before applying hand torque to avoid cross-threading.
