Metallics MSNR1213G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Metallics MSNR1213G channel nut, and what rod or bolt does it take?
The MSNR1213G is a 1/2-13 channel nut, so it threads onto 1/2 inch diameter rod or bolt with 13 threads per inch (standard UNC coarse thread for that diameter). If your trapeze hangers or strut runs are set up for 1/2 inch all-thread, this is the matching nut.
2) Will a 1/2-13 channel nut work with 3/8-16 threaded rod?
No. The MSNR1213G is tapped 1/2-13 and will only accept 1/2 inch rod or bolt. For 3/8 inch rod you need a 3/8-16 channel nut instead. Mixing sizes here is a common field mistake because the nut bodies look similar in the box.
3) What is a regular spring channel nut used for versus a plain channel nut?
The spring on the MSNR1213G holds the nut in position inside the strut channel while you line up and start the bolt, so it does not drop into the run when you let go. A plain (no-spring) channel nut has to be held in place by hand. For overhead work on strut, the spring version is the one most installers want. Regular spring refers to the standard spring height, which suits the common channel depth rather than shallow or stacked channel.
4) Do I get the bolt and washer with the Metallics MSNR1213G channel nut?
The nut only. MSNR1213G is supplied as a 50 piece pack of 1/2-13 spring channel nuts, so the 1/2 inch hex bolts or all-thread, washers, and the strut channel itself are separate line items. Add them to the order if you are not already carrying them on the truck.
5) How many channel nuts come in a box of Metallics MSNR1213G?
Fifty nuts per pack. That is a working quantity for a strut run or a set of trapeze hangers rather than a single fixing, so order by the box and plan the count against the number of bolted connections on the job.
