Metallics PN12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size rod or stud does the Metallics PN12 push nut fit?
The PN12 push nut has a 1/2 inch inside diameter, so it pushes onto 1/2 inch round rod or stud. Outside diameter of the nut is 1 inch, which gives you the bearing face against whatever you are retaining.
2) Do I need threaded rod to use a push nut, or will plain rod work?
Plain rod is the point of a push nut. The PN12 slides onto 1/2 inch unthreaded round stock and the steel teeth grip it, so you do not have to thread or tap anything. If you are working with threaded 1/2-13 rod and want an adjustable, removable connection you take on and off, use a standard hex nut instead; a push nut is a one-way, push-on retainer.
3) How many push nuts come in a pack of Metallics PN12?
PN12 push nuts ship 25 pieces to a pack, model PN12. That is one part number, one size, so a pack covers 25 rod ends.
4) Is the PN12 push nut steel or plastic?
Steel. The PN12 is a steel push nut, which is what lets the internal teeth bite and hold on a plain 1/2 inch rod without threads.
5) Can a PN12 push nut be removed and reused after it is installed?
Treat it as single-use. A steel push nut like the PN12 grips with bent teeth that dig into the rod in one direction; pulling it back off deforms the teeth and it will not hold the same again. Order the 25-piece pack with a few spares if you expect rework.
6) What is the Metallics PN12 push nut used for on an electrical job?
It is an electrical fastener, used to retain parts on a 1/2 inch pin or rod where you do not want to thread the rod, hold a bracket, spacer, or trim piece in place quickly. The 1 inch outside diameter spreads the load across the part being held.
