Value Collection 863172PS Wing Nut 1/2-13 Unc Zinc Plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 863172PS is a standard wing nut designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are not practical or where frequent removal and reinstallation is required. Manufactured from steel with a zinc plating finish for basic corrosion resistance, this fastener features a 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread. The wing span measures 1.94 inches and the wing height measures 1 inch, providing adequate leverage for finger-tightening in light to medium-duty assemblies. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use wing nuts in panel covers, junction boxes, equipment guards, and fixture mounting where hand access is available.

This wing nut is suited for residential and commercial applications requiring a removable, tool-free fastener. Common install scenarios include securing access panels, holding lightweight brackets, and assembling fixtures or guards that need periodic servicing. The standard wing profile is compatible with flat and slightly curved mating surfaces. This fastener is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, making it appropriate for shop stock, MRO inventory, or project-quantity purchasing.

Installation Notes

Wing nuts are installed by hand and do not require wrenches or power tools. Before installation, confirm the mating thread is clean and free of damage to prevent cross-threading. Do not exceed the hand-tight torque appropriate for the application, as wing nuts are not rated for high-clamp-load structural connections. When used in electrical enclosures or panels, follow applicable NEC guidelines for cover fastener requirements.
