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. 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.
