Metallics MSNR3816G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size is the Metallics MSNR3816G channel nut?
The MSNR3816G is a 3/8-16 channel nut, so it takes 3/8 inch coarse-thread rod, bolts, or hanger hardware. Match the rod thread before ordering, since 3/8-16 will not accept 3/8-24 fine thread.
2) Will the MSNR3816G channel nut work with standard 1-5/8 inch strut?
Yes. It is a regular spring channel nut sized for standard strut channel, which in the trade means the common 1-5/8 inch wide profile with inturned lips. Slide it into the channel opening, give it a quarter turn so the grooved teeth seat on the lips, and run your 3/8-16 bolt or rod into it.
3) How many channel nuts come in a box of Metallics MSNR3816G?
They ship 50 pieces to the box. That is a working quantity for a strut run, so an electrician hanging conduit racks or a mechanical contractor supporting pipe generally buys by the box rather than the piece.
4) What is the spring on a regular spring channel nut for?
The spring holds the nut in position inside the strut channel while you line up the bolt, so it does not drop or slide out of place before the fastener is tightened. The MSNR3816G is the regular spring version, meaning the spring length suits standard depth strut rather than shallow or back to back channel.
5) Do I need anything else besides the channel nut to hang conduit from strut?
The nut alone is not a complete assembly. You still need the strut channel itself, a 3/8-16 bolt or threaded rod, and whatever clamp or hanger carries the conduit or pipe. The MSNR3816G is the anchor point inside the channel, nothing more.
6) What is the exact manufacturer part number for the Metallics 3/8-16 regular spring channel nut?
Metallics part number MSNR3816G, a 3/8-16 channel nut with regular spring, packed 50 per box. That is the number to quote on a purchase order or cross-reference against another brand's strut nut.
7) Is the Metallics MSNR3816G a spring nut or a plain channel nut without a spring?
It is the spring version. Plain channel nuts without a spring have to be held by hand against the inside of the channel while you start the bolt, which is fine for bench work but awkward overhead. If your spec calls for a no-spring nut, the MSNR3816G is not that part.
