B-LINE N223ZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the B-Line N223ZN channel nut, and will it take 5/16 inch threaded rod?
The N223ZN channel nut is tapped 5/16"-18, so it accepts 5/16 inch coarse-thread rod, bolts, and hanger hardware. If your rod is 3/8"-16 or 1/2"-13, this nut will not thread on and you need the matching size instead.
2) How much load can a 5/16 inch B-Line channel nut hold in strut?
Two numbers matter on a channel nut, and this one states both: 250 lbs pull out strength (load pulling the nut straight out of the channel) and 450 lbs slip strength (load trying to slide it along the channel). Size your hanger spacing off the lower of the two for the direction your load actually pulls.
3) Does this B-Line channel nut come with a spring?
No spring on the N223ZN, it's a plain channel nut. Without the spring it won't hold itself in position in the strut while you line up the bolt, so it's best where you can reach both hands to the work or where the nut sits at the open end of the channel. For overhead work on a ladder, a spring nut is the easier part to install.
4) Is the electro-plated zinc finish on these channel nuts okay for outdoor or wet locations?
Electro-plated zinc steel is a dry indoor finish. It's fine for interior mechanical rooms, ceiling spaces, and conditioned areas, but for rooftop, exterior, or washdown work you want hot-dip galvanized or stainless channel nuts instead, since a thin electroplate will show rust once it's exposed to weather.
5) What do I need besides the channel nut to hang conduit or pipe from strut?
The nut itself is just the fastener that anchors into the channel. To finish a hanger you still need 5/16"-18 bolts or threaded rod to match the tapping, plus the clamp, strap, or pipe clamp that actually holds the run. Steel strut channel to receive the nut is a separate item as well.
6) What are the dimensions of the B-Line N223ZN channel nut?
It measures 1.75 in length/depth, 1.375 in width, and .85 in height, and weighs .067 lb each. Those proportions are what let the nut turn into the channel slot and seat against the inturned lips rather than pull through.
7) How many channel nuts come in a pack of B-Line N223ZN?
The N223ZN is packaged 100 nuts to a pack, which is how electrical and mechanical contractors usually buy them for a trunk stock or a full strut run. At .067 lb apiece it's an easy box to carry to the job.
