B-LINE N255ZN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the B-Line N255ZN channel nut?
The N255ZN spring nut is tapped 5/8"-11, so it takes 5/8 inch threaded rod or 5/8 inch hex bolts. If your rod is 1/2-13 or 3/8-16, this is the wrong nut for it, since channel nuts are tapped one thread size only.
2) Does the B-Line N255ZN channel nut come with a bolt or threaded rod?
No. The N255ZN is the nut only, 5/8"-11 tapped. You order the 5/8 inch threaded rod, hex bolt, washers and any rod coupling separately.
3) What is the difference between a spring nut and a plain channel nut?
The N255ZN has a spring on the back. That spring holds the nut in position in the strut while you line up the rod or bolt with one hand, so it will not drop down the channel on an overhead run. A plain (non-spring) channel nut has no such feature and has to be held in place, which is fine at waist height but slow on a ceiling. Both develop the same wedge grip once torqued.
4) Is the electro-plated zinc finish on this B-Line channel nut suitable for outdoor use?
The N255ZN is steel with an electro-plated zinc finish. That is a dry indoor finish, good for interior mechanical rooms, ceilings and electrical rooms. For exterior, wash-down or corrosive locations, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless channel nuts instead.
5) What part number do I order for the 5/8 inch B-Line zinc spring nut?
Eaton B-Line part number N255ZN. The N255 is the medium spring channel nut body and the ZN suffix is the electro-plated zinc finish.
6) Can I use this spring nut for trapeze hangers and conduit racks on threaded rod?
That is exactly what it is for. Dropping 5/8 inch all-thread from the structure into strut channel, the N255ZN gives you the threaded anchor point inside the channel for trapeze supports, conduit racks and pipe hangers. The spring holds it while you thread the rod up into it.
