Metallics JSQ9G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size does the Metallics JSQ9G square nut take?
It's a 1/2-13 nut, so it threads onto 1/2 inch bolts, rod, or studs with 13 threads per inch (standard UNC coarse thread in that diameter). If your rod is 1/2-20 fine thread, this won't run on it.
2) Will a square nut work for strut channel and spring-nut style electrical work, or do I need a hex nut?
Square nuts like the JSQ9G are the usual choice where the nut has to sit flat against a surface or be held captive in a channel, slot, or wood recess so it can't spin while you turn the bolt. A hex nut is what you want for open-wrench work and torqued connections where you need six flats to grab. Both are 1/2-13 compatible, so the decision is about how the nut is held, not the thread.
3) Is the JSQ9G nut galvanized, and can I use it outdoors or in damp locations?
Galvanized, yes. The zinc coating gives it corrosion resistance suited to damp and exterior-exposed work such as outdoor conduit supports and strut runs, which is the main reason to pick it over a plain-steel nut indoors.
4) How many 1/2-13 square nuts come in the Metallics JSQ9G jar?
100 nuts per jar. The jar pack is the way Metallics ships these, so a single order quantity of one gets you the full hundred count rather than a loose piece, which is worth knowing if you're stocking a service truck or an MRO bin rather than buying for one opening.
5) Will the galvanized finish on these nuts bind on a hot-dip galvanized 1/2 inch threaded rod?
Galvanized nut on galvanized rod is the normal pairing and it's what this nut is coated for. Where installers run into trouble is heavy hot-dip rod where the coating thickens the threads; in that case chase or run the nut on slowly rather than forcing it. The thread itself is 1/2-13, so the fit is standard coarse.
6) Does the JSQ9G come with bolts or washers, or is it nuts only?
Nuts only, 100 to the jar. You supply the 1/2-13 bolt, rod, or stud and any washers the installation calls for.
