Value Collection R63092268 Brass Wing Nut 1/2-13 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63092268 is a standard brass wing nut sized for 1/2-13 UNC threaded fastener applications. The wing nut design allows for hand-tightening and quick removal without tools, making it a practical choice for assemblies that require frequent access or adjustment. Machined from brass, this fastener resists corrosion and is well suited for use in wet or chemically active environments. The wing span measures 1.94 inches and the wing height measures 1 inch, providing a solid grip surface for finger tightening. Installed by mechanical trades, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general industrial applications.

This wing nut is used wherever a 1/2-13 UNC thread is present and tool-free fastening is preferred. Common applications include panel access covers, equipment guards, filter housings, junction boxes, and field-serviceable assemblies. The right-hand thread direction follows standard convention, so it tightens clockwise and loosens counterclockwise. Its brass construction makes it appropriate for outdoor enclosures, marine-adjacent environments, and anywhere galvanic compatibility with brass or copper hardware is a consideration.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments
• Standard wing nut profile allows tool-free hand tightening and removal
• 1/2-13 UNC thread size fits widely used coarse-thread fastener systems
• Wing span of 1.94 inches delivers adequate grip for reliable hand torque
• Right-hand thread direction follows standard convention for universal compatibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-13 UNC right-hand threaded bolts, studs, and rods in standard coarse-thread fastener assemblies.

Installation Notes

This wing nut is installed and removed by hand without the need for wrenches or power tools. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation to avoid cross-threading. Do not use impact drivers or wrenches on wing nut ears, as this may deform the wings or damage the brass threads. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque requirements on safety-critical assemblies.
