Metallics JNN161D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size are the Metallics JNN161D nylon hex nuts?
The JNN161D is a 10-24 hex nut, so it threads onto any 10-24 machine screw or threaded rod. That is the standard coarse thread for #10 screws used on device plates, box mounting and fixture hardware.
2) Why use a nylon hex nut instead of a steel one on electrical work?
Nylon is non-conductive and non-corroding, so a 10-24 nylon nut is what you reach for when the fastener sits near a live part, a grounding path you do not want bridged, or in damp conditions where a plated steel nut would rust and seize. The trade-off is clamp load: nylon strips at far lower torque than steel, so hand-tighten only and use steel where the joint is structural.
3) Will a 10-24 nylon nut work with the screws on a standard device box or plate?
It will, as long as the screw is 10-24. Device boxes, plaster rings and fixture mounting hardware commonly use 6-32 for device screws and 10-24 or 10-32 for grounding and box mounting, so check the thread before ordering. A 10-32 screw will not take this nut.
4) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JNN161D?
Each jar holds 100 of the 10-24 nylon hex nuts. The jar pack is the shop-counter format, so it suits a service van or MRO crib where you pull a few at a time rather than a bulk box.
5) Are Metallics 10-24 nylon hex nuts made in the USA?
Yes, the JNN161D 10-24 nylon hex nuts are USA made, which matters on government, institutional and utility jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements on material submittals.
