Metallics TPABN1420 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Metallics TPABN1420 breakaway nut?
It's a 1/4-20 thread, so it runs onto any standard 1/4 inch coarse-thread rod or bolt. Match it to 1/4-20 threaded rod or 1/4-20 bolts, not to 1/4-28 fine thread.
2) What is a breakaway nut and why would an electrician use one?
A breakaway nut has a drive section that snaps off at a set torque, leaving a smooth body behind that can't be backed off with a normal wrench. The TPABN1420 is the tamper-resistant version in 1/4-20, used where a fastener needs to stay put and resist casual removal on equipment, enclosures or fixtures. Plan on it being a one-way install: once the head breaks away, removal means cutting or drilling it out.
3) How many nuts come in a pack of Metallics TPABN1420?
Each pack holds 100 nuts. For electrical crews doing repetitive tamper-resistant terminations, that's a box quantity rather than a single piece, so order by the 100 count.
4) Is the TPABN1420 nut steel or aluminum?
Aluminum. That keeps it light and non-magnetic, and it means you should pair it with aluminum or compatible hardware where dissimilar-metal contact matters, particularly outdoors or in damp locations.
5) What is the manufacturer part number for the Metallics 1/4-20 aluminum breakaway nut?
Metallics part number TPABN1420. That's the number to quote to a distributor for the 1/4-20 aluminum tamper-resistant breakaway nut in the 100 piece pack.
