Metallics N163PLM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size are the Metallics N163PLM hex nuts, and what bolts do they fit?
The N163PLM is a 1/4-20 hex nut, so it threads onto any 1/4 inch bolt, screw, or rod with 20 threads per inch (the standard UNC coarse pitch at that diameter). It will not run onto 1/4-28 fine thread hardware, and it is the wrong size for 10-24 or 5/16-18 fasteners.
2) Are the N163PLM nuts plated or bare steel?
Plain steel, not zinc plated or galvanized. That makes them fine for dry interior work such as strut, enclosure, and panel fastening, but for damp locations, exterior runs, or anywhere exposed to washdown you want a plated or stainless nut instead, since bare steel will surface rust.
3) How many nuts come in a box of Metallics N163PLM?
One box is 1000 pieces of the 1/4-20 plain steel hex nut. It is a bulk pack meant for shop stock or an MRO crib rather than a single job, so if you only need a handful for one install you are buying a lot of spares.
4) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/4-20 plain steel hex nut in the 1000 count box?
N163PLM. That is the manufacturer part number to quote or reorder against for the 1/4-20 plain steel hex nut, 1000 per box.
