Value Collection 93644 Wing Nut 1/2-13 Unc Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93644 is a stainless steel standard wing nut threaded to 1/2-13 UNC specification. It provides a tool-free fastening solution for assemblies that require frequent removal or adjustment by hand. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, this wing nut resists corrosion in wet, outdoor, and light chemical environments. The wing span measures 1.94 inches and the wing height measures 1.0 inch, giving technicians adequate grip surface for hand-tightening. Plumbers, HVAC installers, electricians, and general tradespeople use this fastener when securing covers, guards, access panels, and equipment components where repeated hand access is needed.

This wing nut is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever a 1/2-13 UNC right-hand threaded fastener is required. Common install scenarios include mounting access panel covers, securing junction box covers, attaching equipment guards, and general maintenance fixtures in both indoor and outdoor environments. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for damp or corrosive-exposure locations where standard carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely. Sold in packages of 10 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock wing nut for any 1/2-13 UNC threaded rod, bolt, or stud requiring a hand-operated fastener.

Installation Notes

Hand-tighten only; wing nuts are not designed for torque-wrench installation and over-tightening can deform the wings or strip the thread. Ensure the mating stud or bolt is free of debris and corrosion before threading on. In electrical enclosure applications, follow NEC guidelines for cover fastener requirements. Confirm thread engagement of at least the nominal thread diameter before applying load.
