Metallics MSNR1420SS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size are the Metallics MSNR1420SS spring nuts?
They take 1/4-20 thread, so any 1/4-20 bolt, hex head cap screw, or threaded rod drops straight into them. If your strut hardware is sized in 3/8-16 or 1/2-13, the MSNR1420SS is the wrong nut for the run.
2) Are these spring nuts stainless and will they hold up outdoors or in a wash-down area?
The MSNR1420SS is made from 316 stainless steel, the marine-grade alloy specified for coastal, chemical, and wash-down environments where plated steel rusts out. That makes it the right choice for rooftop strut, food processing, water treatment, and exterior conduit support.
3) What is a spring nut used for on strut channel?
A spring nut is the channel nut with a captive spring on the back. You turn it into the open face of strut channel and the spring holds it in position against the channel lips while you line up your bolt, so it does not drop down inside the run. That is the difference from a plain channel nut, which needs a second hand or will fall through on an overhead run. The MSNR1420SS is the 1/4-20 version in 316 stainless.
4) Should I use 316 stainless spring nuts or standard plated steel ones?
Indoors, dry, conditioned space, plated steel channel nuts do the job. Go to 316 stainless like the MSNR1420SS where there is salt air, moisture, chemicals, or regular wash-down, or where the strut and fittings themselves are stainless. Mixing plated steel hardware into a stainless assembly in a wet location invites galvanic corrosion at the joint.
5) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/4-20 316 stainless spring nut?
Order it as Metallics MSNR1420SS. That part number covers the 1/4-20 spring nut in 316 stainless, packed 50 to a box.
