Value Collection 863168PR Wing Nut 3/8-16 Unc Zinc Plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 863168PR is a standard wing nut designed for fast hand-tightening and removal without tools. Made from steel with a zinc plated finish, this nut provides corrosion resistance suited to general-purpose fastening applications. The 3/8-16 UNC thread size with right-hand thread direction ensures compatibility with standard unified coarse-thread fasteners. With a wing span of 1.44 inches and a wing height of 0.79 inches, it delivers a secure grip surface for repeated assembly and disassembly tasks. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals keep these on hand for panel covers, access doors, and equipment enclosures where frequent removal is required.

This wing nut suits a wide range of light to medium-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial maintenance environments. Common install scenarios include securing junction box covers, filter housings, equipment guards, and access panels where tool-free removal is an operational requirement. The zinc plated steel construction holds up in dry to mildly humid indoor environments. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical for stocking maintenance carts or parts bins.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — hand-tighten only to the appropriate snug fit for the application. De-energize or shut off any system before servicing panels or enclosures secured with these nuts. Do not use an impact driver or wrench, as over-torquing can damage the wings or strip the thread. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener selection in structural or load-bearing applications.
