Value Collection 3TNW908C Wing Nut 1/2-13 Unc 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TNW908C is a standard wing nut machined from Grade 316 stainless steel, designed for hand-tightened fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread is a common coarse-thread size used across HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixtures, pool equipment enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies. With a wing span of 1.94 inches and a wing height of 1.0 inch, this nut provides enough surface area for secure hand torque without tooling. The Grade 316 alloy offers superior resistance to chlorides and moisture compared to standard 304 stainless, making it well suited for wet or chemically active environments.

This wing nut is appropriate for residential and commercial installations where removable, tool-free fastening is needed. Typical applications include access panel retention, equipment covers, pipe clamp assemblies, and outdoor or poolside enclosures where exposure to moisture, salt air, or cleaning chemicals demands a corrosion-resistant fastener. It is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance in wet and chloride-exposed environments
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse right-hand thread for broad compatibility with standard bolts and threaded rod
• Wing span of 1.94 inches allows reliable hand-tightening without tools
• Wing height of 1.0 inch provides adequate grip clearance in confined spaces
• Silver finish; no coating to flake, pit, or contaminate sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with any 1/2-13 UNC threaded bolt, stud, or threaded rod requiring a hand-tightened fastener solution.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools under normal hand-tightening conditions. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly to prevent galling, which is a known risk with stainless fasteners. Apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads when specified by the equipment manufacturer or when disassembly is expected in corrosive service conditions. Follow applicable mechanical codes for the system being serviced.
