Description:

• These Forgefix Wing Nuts are a convenient alternative to the standard Hex Nut, and allow hand tightening rather than having to use spanners or other tools. The nuts are bright zinc plated for increased corrosion resistance.
• Also known as a 'Thumbscrew', the wing nut has two large metal 'wings' for easy tightening and loosening.
• APPLICATION:
  Where ever a hand tightened fastening is required. Used where frequent adjustments are needed or part removal can be made quickly at some later stage.
  Can be used with all threaded bolt products.
• Zinc coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish. It does this by forming a barrier and by acting as a sacrificial anode if this barrier is damaged. Zinc oxide is a fine white dust that (in contrast to iron oxide) does not trigger a breakdown of the substrate’s surface integrity as it is formed. The zinc oxide, if left intact, can act as a barrier to further oxidation, in a way similar to the protection afforded to aluminum and stainless steels by their oxide layers.
