This 5/16" UNF wing nut is manufactured to ASME B18.6.9 in A2 stainless steel (304 grade). ASME B18.6.9 specifies a nut with two projecting wings in place of hexagon flats, for hand tightening without a spanner. The wings allow the nut to be run on and released by hand, suiting assemblies that are dismantled often or where a spanner cannot reach.

Typical applications

  • Quick-release and frequently dismantled assemblies
  • Guards, covers, and access panels
  • Marine, camping, and temporary structures
