Value Collection 863011PR Wing Nut 8-32 Unc Zinc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 863011PR is a standard wing nut threaded to 8-32 UNC specification, manufactured from steel with a zinc plated finish. It is designed for hand-tightening applications where frequent removal and reinstallation are required without tools. The right-hand thread engages standard 8-32 UNC fastener assemblies, and the zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose use in dry to mildly humid environments. With a wing span of 0.91 inches and a wing height of 0.47 inches, this is a compact fastener suited for light-duty mechanical and electrical panel assemblies.

This wing nut is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial applications wherever a 8-32 UNC threaded stud or bolt is used and hand-access tightening is preferred. Common install scenarios include securing access panels, junction box covers, equipment guards, and fixture mounting points in HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical assemblies. It is installed by tradespeople and technicians who need a reliable, reusable fastener that can be removed quickly during service calls without specialized tooling.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard unified coarse thread fasteners
• Zinc plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance in general-purpose environments
• Standard wing nut profile allows hand-tightening and removal without tools
• Compact wing span of 0.91 inches suits confined panel and enclosure applications
• Wing height of 0.47 inches provides adequate grip surface for finger tightening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock wing nut for any 8-32 UNC threaded fastener application requiring hand-tightenable hardware.

Installation Notes

Wing nuts of this type are installed and removed by hand; no wrenches or power tools are required or recommended, as overtightening can strip the threads. Before servicing any panel or enclosure secured by wing nuts, de-energize all electrical circuits in accordance with NFPA 70 lockout-tagout procedures. Inspect threads on the mating stud or bolt for damage before installation to ensure full thread engagement.
