    Washer Base Flange Wing Nuts in Zamak Zinc Alloy

    Easily Installed and Removed by Hand

    Wing Nuts feature two protruding wings on either side of the nut to tighten or loosen 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, or washer base wing nuts, are variations of traditional wing nuts. These wing nuts feature an additional integrated smooth washer, effectively combining a flat washer with a wing nut. The flange portion helps to distribute pressure from the fastener assembly over a wider surface area. This allows for an even more straightforward installation and removal by removing the need for a washer.

    Zamak Zinc Alloy

    Zamak is a zinc alloy family. The most common, Zamak 3, is an alloy of zinc and aluminum and the de facto choice for die casting. Zamak alloy has an excellent balance of physical and mechanic properties, superb castability, and long-term dimensional stability.
