Metallics SBN145M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size are the Metallics SBN145M hex machine screw nuts?
The SBN145M is a 1/4-20 hex machine screw nut, so it mates with any 1/4 inch screw or bolt cut with 20 threads per inch (the standard UNC coarse pitch at that diameter). Wrong pitch and it will not run on, so confirm your screws are 1/4-20 and not 1/4-28 fine thread.
2) How many nuts come in a box of Metallics SBN145M?
It ships as a bulk pack of 5,000 pieces. That is a stocking quantity for an electrical shop or an MRO crib running strut, box, and fixture mounting all day, not a job-count pack. If you only need a handful, you are buying 5,000.
3) Are these the right nuts for 1/4-20 machine screws used on electrical boxes and fixture mounting?
Yes. The Metallics SBN145M is a hex machine screw nut in 1/4-20, the thread electrical work uses for box, strut, and fixture mounting hardware. It drives with a standard wrench or socket on the hex flats.
4) Will the SBN145M nut work with a 1/4-20 threaded rod?
It will. A 1/4-20 hex nut runs on any 1/4-20 male thread, whether that is a machine screw, a bolt, or continuous threaded rod. Common use is locking off rod drops for fixtures and raceway supports.
5) Is a hex machine screw nut the same as a nylon lock nut or a wing nut?
No. The SBN145M is a plain hex machine screw nut: all metal, hex flats, no locking insert and no finger tabs. Where vibration is a concern you want a nylon insert lock nut instead, and where you need tool-free tightening a wing nut or a cap nut. For general 1/4-20 fastening with a wrench, the plain hex nut is the standard choice.
6) What is the exact Metallics part number to order for 1/4-20 hex nuts in bulk?
Order Metallics SBN145M. That is the manufacturer part number for the 1/4-20 hex machine screw nut in the 5,000 piece bulk pack, and it is the only model on the item, so there are no finish or size options to specify.
