Product Overview

The MIDWEST FASTENER CORP 71746 Wing Nut is a steel fastener with a zinc-plated finish, sold in a pack of 25. It features integrated wings that allow tightening and loosening by hand without requiring tools. This hardware suits applications where frequent tension adjustment or quick removal is necessary.

Use Case

These wing nuts replace standard hex nuts on bolts or studs with a 1/4"-28 thread pitch when tool-free operation becomes a priority. The upgrade is worth it for fixtures, jigs, or access panels that are opened and closed repeatedly. They are not suited for permanent structural joints that demand high torque or locking features to resist vibration.

Installation Notes

Installation is completed by threading the nut onto the mating part and turning the wings by hand until snug. Over-tightening by hand can strip the threads on softer materials. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance, but the finish may wear if the wings are used aggressively or exposed to harsh chemicals.

Questions about this item

What thread size do the 71746 wing nuts fit?

These wing nuts have a 1/4"-28 thread pitch, so they match bolts or studs with the same diameter and 28 threads per inch.

How do I install them without tools, and what is the common mistake?

Turn the extended wings by hand until snug; the mistake is over-tightening with pliers, which can strip the threads.

Will the zinc plating need replacement or maintenance later?

The zinc coating resists corrosion under normal use; inspect periodically and replace any nuts that show white rust or damaged threads.
