Value Collection R63081024 Wing Nut 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63081024 is a standard wing nut machined from 18-8 stainless steel, designed for 3/8-16 UNC threaded fastener applications. The wing span measures 1.44 inches and the wing height measures 0.79 inches, providing a comfortable grip surface for hand-tightening without tools. The 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. This wing nut is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople wherever a tool-free, removable fastening point is needed on threaded rod or bolts.

This wing nut is suited for light-duty panel access, equipment covers, junction box lids, and other assemblies that require frequent removal or adjustment without a wrench. The right-hand thread direction follows standard UNC convention, making it compatible with the broad range of 3/8-16 threaded hardware common in mechanical and electrical trade work. Silver finish matches the natural appearance of stainless steel in finished assemblies.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread for compatibility with standard threaded fasteners
• Wing span of 1.44 inches allows secure hand-tightening without tools
• Wing height of 0.79 inches provides adequate leverage for finger grip

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation wing nut for 3/8-16 UNC threaded rod, bolts, and studs in general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools under normal service conditions; hand-tighten only to avoid damaging the stainless steel threads. Ensure the mating threaded fastener is also 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread before installation. Do not use an impact driver or wrench to seat this wing nut, as over-torquing can deform the wings or strip the threads.
