Value Collection KP79452 Locking Wing Nut 1/4-20 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP79452 is a zinc-plated, zinc alloy locking wing nut designed for secure hand-tightening applications in trade and industrial settings. Threaded to 1/4-20 UNC with a right-hand thread direction, this wing nut provides reliable fastening without requiring tools for installation or removal. The wing span measures 1.25 inches and the wing height measures 0.594 inches, making it a compact yet functional fastener for panel access, enclosures, and equipment covers. HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers frequently use wing nuts in service panel assemblies and access covers where frequent removal is required. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor mechanical environments.

This wing nut is suited for light-duty fastening applications across residential and commercial trade work. Common install scenarios include equipment access panels, junction box covers, duct inspection doors, and fixture mounting points where hand-tool-free service access is a priority. The 1/4-20 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with widely available threaded hardware in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing panel assemblies. Note that this item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 25 units per order.

Installation Notes

Wing nuts of this type are installed and removed by hand. Before servicing any panel or enclosure secured with wing nuts, de-energize electrical circuits per NEC requirements or shut off gas and fluid supply as applicable to the system type. Do not use pliers or wrenches on the wings, as overtightening can crack zinc alloy castings. Confirm thread engagement is full and the nut seats flush before returning equipment to service.
