Metallics JC12MSS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is Metallics JC12MSS jack chain stainless steel?
Yes, the JC12MSS is the stainless version of Metallics #12 jack chain. That is what makes it the choice for damp, washdown, coastal, or exterior work where a plated or galvanized chain would rust out. For dry interior fixture hanging the stainless grade is not required.
2) How much chain comes in the Metallics JC12MSS pail?
One pail holds 1,000 feet of #12 jack chain, so it ships as a single continuous bulk quantity rather than a cut length. That is enough to hang a long run of fixtures or signage off one order, and the pail lets you pull and cut only what each drop needs.
3) What is #12 jack chain used for on an electrical job?
Jack chain is the light-duty suspension chain electricians use to hang lighting fixtures, strip lights, signs, and small conduit or cable supports from a ceiling or structure. The #12 size is the common light gauge for fixture drops. It is a support accessory, not a load-rated rigging or lifting chain.
4) Will stainless jack chain hold up outdoors or in a pool or car wash area?
That is exactly where the stainless JC12MSS earns its cost. Stainless resists the corrosion that takes out zinc-plated jack chain in chlorinated, salt-air, or constantly wet spaces. Use it for canopy and exterior fixture drops, natatoriums, and washdown bays; save the plated chain for dry interiors.
5) Can I order a shorter length of Metallics jack chain instead of the full pail?
The JC12MSS is sold as the 1,000 foot pail, which is a single bulk unit. If you only need a few feet per fixture, buy the pail and cut from it on site with side cutters or a bolt cutter; there is no shorter put-up under this part number.
