Value Collection C36856 Wing Nut 6-32 Unc Stainless Steel 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C36856 is a standard wing nut threaded to 6-32 UNC specifications and manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. It is designed for applications requiring hand-tightening and frequent removal without tools. The 18-8 alloy provides solid corrosion resistance in wet or mildly chemical environments, making it a practical fastener choice for enclosure panels, access covers, and equipment housings across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical work. Wing span measures 0.72 inches and wing height measures 0.41 inches. This package contains 50 pieces, suited for stocking in a service van or shop bin.

This wing nut is used wherever a 6-32 UNC threaded fastener is needed and tool-free removal is an advantage. Common install scenarios include securing junction box covers, instrument panels, filter frames, and light-duty equipment guards. The right-hand thread direction is standard for these applications. The silver finish and stainless construction make it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where mild moisture exposure is expected.

Installation Notes

Hand-tighten only - wing nuts are not rated for torque wrench installation and over-tightening can deform the wing. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. In electrical enclosure applications, follow NEC guidelines for cover fastener requirements. Stainless fasteners can gall against stainless mating hardware; applying an anti-seize compound is recommended when threading into stainless studs or screws.
