B-LINE N525SS6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the B-Line N525SS6 spring nut take?
The N525SS6 channel nut is threaded 5/8"-11, so it pairs with 5/8 inch all-thread rod or 5/8 inch hex bolts. If your rod is 1/2-13 or 3/8-16, this nut will not accept it and you need the matching size in the same series.
2) Is this B-Line channel nut stainless or plated steel? I need it for an outdoor or wash-down area.
It is a steel spring nut finished in Stainless steel type 316, which is the grade specified where chloride exposure is a concern, coastal, wash-down, water treatment, and food processing environments. For dry indoor electrical support, a plain electro-galvanized channel nut is the cheaper route.
3) Will this fit standard 1-5/8 inch strut channel?
Yes. The nut measures 1.375 in by 1.31 in with a .85 in height, which is the standard channel nut footprint that turns into the slot of 1-5/8 inch strut and seats under the channel lips. The .85 in dimension includes the spring, so it compresses as you twist the nut into place.
4) What is the difference between a spring nut and a plain channel nut for strut?
A spring nut, which is what the N525SS6 is, carries a coil spring on the back that pushes the nut body up against the inturned lips of the strut channel. That holds it in position while you set your rod or bolt, so one person can work overhead without the nut dropping inside the run. A plain channel nut has no spring and has to be held in place by hand, which is fine at a bench or on accessible horizontal runs.
5) Do I need to mix stainless and galvanized parts if I use this nut?
Better not to. Pairing a 316 stainless nut with galvanized rod or strut puts dissimilar metals in contact and gives up the corrosion resistance you paid for at the joint. If you are specifying 316 for the nut, run 316 stainless rod, strut, and fittings for that section.
6) Does this channel nut come with a bolt or washer?
No, the N525SS6 is the nut only. You order the threaded rod or hex bolt, and any washer, separately, in 5/8 inch to match the thread. For a 316 stainless assembly, keep the rod and washers in the same grade.
