Wing Nuts with a Round Washer Base - Zamak 3 Zinc Alloy Manually installed wing nuts with a washer base Commonly used in applications where assembly and disassembly is frequent such as hurricane shutters, rigging & lighting equipment and thin metal applications Integrated washer base helps distribute load over a wider area and eliminates the need of a second fastener - Cost and Time Saving Also called flanged wing nuts - Flange or washer base is non-serrated

Wing Nuts are designed for projects that require no tools. Use only your fingers to install or remove the nut. Wing Nuts feature two wings which allow for the fastener to be tightened or loosened by hand. Wing Nuts are commonly seen on assemblies that require adjustment or are not permanent. They are also used when convenience is a driving factor. Flange wing nuts are like standard wing nuts but have an integral smooth washer. This allows for an even simpler installation and removal by removing the need for a washer to be included during the installation. The flange portion helps to better distribute pressure from the fastener assembly over a wider surface area.
