Metallics JNCHTL14 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the JNCHTL14 a nylon insert nut or an all-metal locknut?
It is an all-metal top locknut, meaning the locking action comes from a deformed (crimped) top section of the nut rather than a nylon ring. That matters on jobs where heat would destroy a nylon insert, and it means the nut can be re-used a limited number of times without losing prevailing torque.
2) Are these Metallics 1/4-20 locknuts plated for corrosion resistance?
They are steel with a yellow zinc finish, which is a chromate-dipped zinc plating intended for dry interior service. For outdoor, damp, or corrosive locations, specify stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware instead, since yellow zinc is not a wet-location plating.
3) How many nuts come in a jar of Metallics JNCHTL14?
Each jar holds 100 of the 1/4-20 top locknuts. The jar pack is the shop-stock format, so it suits a service van or a job box where you are pulling a handful at a time rather than ordering by the bulk box.
4) Do I need a lock washer if I use these top locknuts?
No separate lock washer is needed. A top locknut provides its own prevailing torque through the crimped top, which is what keeps it from backing off under vibration. It is not a flange nut though, so if you are fastening through sheet metal or a slotted strut hole you still want a flat washer under it to spread the load.
5) What wrench or socket size fits the Metallics JNCHTL14 locknut?
It is a hex nut in 1/4-20, which in standard inch hardware takes a 7/16 inch wrench or socket across the flats. Hex form also means you can run them with a nut driver on a drill for repetitive strut or hanger work.
6) What is the Metallics part number to order for 1/4-20 steel top locknuts?
Order Metallics JNCHTL14. That is both the catalog model and the manufacturer part number for the 1/4-20 grade C hex top locknut in steel with yellow zinc, packed 100 to a jar.
