Metallics N166PLM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size are the Metallics N166PLM hex nuts?
The Metallics N166PLM is a 1/2-13 hex nut, meaning a 1/2 inch diameter with 13 threads per inch. That is the standard UNC coarse thread for 1/2 inch bolts and rod, so it mates with 1/2-13 threaded rod, anchor bolts, and cap screws.
2) Are these 1/2-13 nuts plated or bare steel?
They are plain steel, no plating or coating. Plain finish steel is for dry interior work. For damp locations, exterior strut runs, or anywhere exposed to weather, order a zinc plated or galvanized 1/2-13 hex nut instead, since unplated steel will rust.
3) How many nuts come in a box of Metallics N166PLM?
One box of N166PLM contains 1000 pieces of 1/2-13 plain steel hex nut. It is a bulk pack meant for stocking a shop or an electrical job where 1/2 inch rod is being hung in volume, not a small count for a single repair.
4) Will a 1/2-13 hex nut work with 1/2 inch threaded rod for hanging strut and cable tray?
Yes. 1/2 inch threaded rod sold for trapeze hangers and strut support is cut 1/2-13 UNC, which is exactly the thread on the N166PLM, so it threads on directly. Use it with a flat washer against strut or channel so the nut does not pull through the slot.
5) Is there anything else I need to order with these hex nuts?
The box is nuts only. No washers, rod, or bolts are included, so add 1/2 inch flat washers, lock washers, or 1/2-13 threaded rod separately if the assembly calls for them.
