Value Collection 34358 Type a Wing Nut 1/2-13 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34358 is a Type A wing nut machined from steel and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance. Sized to a 1/2-13 UNC thread standard with a right-hand thread direction, this wing nut is hand-tightened and removed without tools, making it well suited for assemblies that require frequent access or adjustment. With a wing span of 1.94 inches and a wing height of 1.0 inch, it provides adequate grip surface for reliable manual torque in light to medium-duty fastening applications. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople keep this hardware on hand for panel covers, access doors, and service assemblies.

This wing nut is appropriate for residential and commercial trade applications where a tool-free fastener is needed on metal or steel assemblies. Its 1/2-13 UNC thread size fits standard coarse-thread bolts and studs commonly found in mechanical enclosures, equipment frames, and utility panels. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion protection suitable for interior and sheltered outdoor installations.

Installation Notes

Wing nuts of this type are installed and removed by hand; no wrench is required under normal service conditions. Ensure the mating bolt or stud is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading. In applications where vibration is present, consider a secondary locking method such as a lock washer beneath the wing nut. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes when used in panel or enclosure fastening applications.
