Metallics MSN1213 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Metallics MSN1213 channel nut?
The MSN1213 channel nut is tapped 1/2-13, so it takes 1/2 inch diameter rod or bolt with 13 threads per inch (standard UNC coarse thread for that diameter). Match it to 1/2-13 threaded rod or hex bolts, not to 1/2-20 fine thread.
2) Does the MSN1213 channel nut come with a spring?
No spring on the MSN1213. It is the plain, no-spring version, so it will not hold itself in position inside the strut while you align a hanger or bracket. On overhead work or anywhere you need the nut to stay put hands-free, order a spring-type channel nut instead; the no-spring style is the economical choice where you can reach both sides and hold the nut by hand.
3) Will the Metallics MSN1213 channel nut work in standard 1-5/8 inch strut?
Yes. The MSN1213 is a channel nut, which is the square, grooved nut made to turn into the inturned lips of standard 1-5/8 inch slotted strut channel. Drop it in, give it a quarter turn, and the grooves bite the channel lips. Thread size is 1/2-13.
4) How many channel nuts are in a box of Metallics MSN1213?
The MSN1213 is packed 100 pieces per box. That is one pack of 100 nuts, which is the typical quantity for a strut run on a mechanical or electrical rough-in.
5) What do I use these 1/2-13 channel nuts for on an electrical or pipe install?
They are the anchor point in a strut run: thread 1/2-13 rod into the nut for trapeze hangers, or bolt conduit clamps, pipe straps, equipment brackets and panel feet directly to the channel. Because the nut slides anywhere along the strut before you lock it, you set spacing on site instead of drilling. The MSN1213 is the Metallics no-spring version, sold 100 to a box.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the Metallics 1/2-13 channel nut without a spring?
Order Metallics MSN1213. That is the manufacturer part number for the 1/2-13 channel nut, no spring, 100 per box.
