Value Collection R63081642 Wing Nut 10-32 Unf Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63081642 is a standard wing nut threaded to 10-32 UNF specification and manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. The 18-8 grade alloy delivers reliable corrosion resistance in wet, humid, or chemically active environments, making this wing nut a dependable choice for applications where tool-free hand tightening and loosening is required. With a wing span of 0.91 inches and a wing height of 0.47 inches, the part provides a comfortable grip surface for repeated manual adjustments. Right-hand thread direction follows standard convention. This fastener is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals wherever a removable, hand-operated fastener is needed on light structural or panel assemblies.

This wing nut is suited for residential and light commercial installations where panels, access covers, guards, or equipment components require frequent removal without tools. The 10-32 UNF thread is a fine-pitch unified thread commonly found on electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture brackets, and pool equipment housings. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor, coastal, or high-moisture environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. Trade installers working on equipment that demands routine service access will find this wing nut a practical and reusable fastener choice.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 10-32 UNF fine-pitch thread for secure engagement on standard machine-threaded studs and bolts
• 0.91 inch wing span provides adequate hand-grip leverage for tool-free tightening
• 0.47 inch wing height allows use in moderately confined spaces
• Right-hand thread direction follows universal standard convention
• Silver finish consistent with bare stainless steel — no coating to chip or corrode

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental wing nut for any application using a 10-32 UNF right-hand threaded stud, screw, or bolt requiring hand-tightened fastening.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — finger-tighten only to the torque adequate for the application; do not use pliers or wrenches, as over-tightening can deform the wings. Ensure the mating stud or bolt is also 10-32 UNF to prevent cross-threading. Power down or de-energize any electrical or mechanical equipment before removing or installing fasteners on live panels or rotating assemblies. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening electrical enclosure hardware.
