Value Collection R63092280 Brass Wing Nut 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63092280 is a standard wing nut machined from brass, designed for hand-tightening and frequent removal without tools. It carries a 5/16-18 UNC thread specification with a right-hand thread direction. The 1.25-inch wing span and 0.66-inch wing height provide adequate grip surface for repeated manual adjustments. Brass construction offers natural corrosion resistance and non-sparking properties, making this fastener appropriate for plumbing, electrical, and light mechanical assemblies where tool-free access is a priority. Licensed tradespeople and knowledgeable DIYers use this type of fastener where periodic service or inspection intervals demand fast component removal.

Standard wing nuts in this thread size see regular use in HVAC access panel assemblies, plumbing fixture tie-downs, electrical enclosure covers, and pool equipment housings. The 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread pattern seats quickly and resists cross-threading in field conditions. Brass is compatible with copper, brass, and most non-ferrous mating hardware, reducing galvanic corrosion risk in wet or humid environments common to mechanical and plumbing service work.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC coarse right-hand thread for fast hand installation and removal
• 1.25-inch wing span provides positive finger grip without tools
• 0.66-inch wing height keeps the profile compact in tight assemblies
• Brass material offers corrosion resistance and non-sparking characteristics
• Standard wing nut profile fits common 5/16-inch threaded studs and bolts

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-profile replacement or service wing nut for any 5/16-18 UNC threaded fastener application requiring hand-tightened, tool-free assembly.

Installation Notes

Wing nuts are installed and removed by hand; no wrench is required under normal torque conditions. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before seating to avoid galling the brass threads. In electrical enclosure or HVAC applications, de-energize the system before opening any panel secured by this hardware. Do not over-torque by using tools on the wings, as brass is softer than steel and the wings can deform or fracture under excessive force.
