Value Collection C36858 Wing Nut 10-24 Unc Ss 18-8 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C36858 is a standard wing nut threaded to 10-24 UNC and machined from 18-8 stainless steel. Wing nuts of this type allow for hand-tightening and hand-loosening without tools, making them a practical fastener wherever frequent removal or adjustment is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Each nut measures 0.91 inches in wing span and 0.47 inches in wing height. This listing is sold as a pack of 50 pieces, stocked for trade and maintenance applications requiring consistent, on-hand fastener supply.

This wing nut is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, HVAC panel covers, electrical enclosures, plumbing access panels, and general equipment where hand-operated fasteners are preferred. The right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC convention. The silver finish is the natural result of the stainless steel material and requires no additional coating. Installers working in corrosive or damp environments will find the 18-8 grade appropriate for sustained exposure without significant surface degradation.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC wing nut for use with any male-threaded fastener or stud machined to 10-24 UNC specifications following right-hand thread convention.

Installation Notes

Wing nuts are installed and removed by hand; no wrenches or power tools are required or recommended for standard-duty applications. Always ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before engagement to avoid cross-threading. When used in vibration-prone assemblies, consider a locking washer or secondary retention method, as wing nuts are not inherently vibration-resistant. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and any relevant NEC or mechanical code requirements for the specific application.
