Value Collection C85501 Type a Wing Nut 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C85501 is a Type A wing nut designed for fast, hand-tightened fastening in light-duty assembly and service applications. Threaded to the 8-32 UNC standard with a right-hand thread direction, this wing nut allows tools-free installation and removal, making it well suited for panel covers, guards, access doors, and equipment that requires frequent adjustment. The zinc-plated steel construction provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments. Wing span measures 0.91 inches and wing height measures 0.47 inches.

This wing nut is used across a wide range of light industrial, HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assembly tasks where hand-tightening is required. Typical applications include securing access panels, filter frames, junction box covers, and equipment housings that are serviced on a regular basis. The 8-32 UNC thread size is one of the most common fine-thread machine screw standards in North American trade work, making this fastener easy to source and replace in the field.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by hand without tools. Before replacing or adjusting fasteners on live electrical enclosures or pressurized systems, de-energize or shut off the system per applicable NEC or equipment service guidelines. Do not overtighten by hand or use pliers, as wing nut ears can crack or deform under excessive torque. Inspect threads on the mating stud before installation to ensure clean engagement.
