Value Collection R63092164 Brass Wing Nut 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63092164 is a standard wing nut machined from brass, designed for hand-tightening and hand-loosening applications where tools are not practical or desirable. It carries an 8-32 UNC thread specification with a right-hand thread direction. The wing span measures 0.91 inches, and the wing height measures 0.47 inches. This fastener is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosure panels, access covers, and equipment that requires frequent removal for inspection or servicing. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and is non-magnetic, making it appropriate for applications where steel fasteners are unsuitable.

This wing nut is used in residential and light commercial settings wherever a captive or frequently removed panel, guard, cover, or component requires a hand-tightened connection. Common applications include electrical enclosures, HVAC access panels, pool equipment housings, and general mechanical assemblies using 8-32 UNC threaded studs or bolts. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals use this type of fastener where repeated access without tooling is required.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides natural corrosion resistance and a non-magnetic profile
• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard coarse-thread 8-32 studs and bolts
• Right-hand thread direction follows standard installation convention
• Wing span of 0.91 inches allows adequate grip for hand tightening
• Wing height of 0.47 inches provides clearance for finger purchase in confined spaces
• Standard wing nut profile fits common tool-free access applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with 8-32 UNC right-hand threaded studs and bolts in standard fastener assemblies. Suitable for any application requiring a brass, hand-tightened wing nut on an 8-32 coarse thread.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools under normal use; thread the nut onto a compatible 8-32 UNC stud or bolt and tighten by hand. When used in electrical enclosures or control panels, de-energize the equipment before removing or installing access hardware per applicable NEC requirements. Avoid over-tightening, as brass is a softer material than steel and the wings are not designed for wrench torque. Inspect threads on both the nut and the mating fastener before installation to ensure clean engagement.
