Metallics G8N163M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and pitch is the Metallics G8N163M hex nut?
It's a 1/4-20 nut, so 1/4 inch nominal diameter with 20 threads per inch (UNC coarse). It threads onto any 1/4-20 bolt, hanger rod end, or threaded stud of that size. If your rod is 1/4-28 fine thread, this is the wrong nut.
2) Is the Metallics G8N163M a grade 8 nut, and what does that mean for strength?
Yes, the G8N163M is a grade 8 hex nut. Grade 8 is the high strength class in the SAE inch series and is the mate you want on a grade 8 bolt so the nut isn't the weak link in the joint. Pairing a lower grade 2 or grade 5 nut with a grade 8 bolt caps the assembly at the nut's strength.
3) How many nuts come in a box of Metallics G8N163M?
One thousand pieces per pack. That bulk count suits shops consuming 1/4-20 hardware continuously, strut and hanger work, panel builds, and MRO cribs that want a bin stocked rather than a handful of nuts.
4) Are these 1/4-20 nuts plated, or will they rust?
They're steel with a zinc plating. Zinc plate handles dry indoor and protected service well, which covers most panel, strut, and interior raceway work. For continuous wet, exterior, or corrosive exposure, step up to hot dip galvanized or stainless 1/4-20 nuts instead.
5) Does this nut come with washers or bolts, or do I order those separately?
The G8N163M ships as hex nuts only, 1000 to the pack. Bolts, flat washers, and lock washers are separate line items. If the joint needs vibration resistance, plan on a separate lock washer or a nylon insert lock nut, since this is a plain finished hex nut.
6) What wrench or socket size fits the Metallics G8N163M 1/4-20 hex nut?
It's a standard hex pattern nut in 1/4-20, which in the inch series takes a 7/16 inch wrench or socket across the flats. A 1/4 inch drive ratchet with a 7/16 socket is the usual tool for driving these in quantity.
